Howdy; Finally getting around to tweaking some html snippets, and I'm stuck -
this is what I have: <li id="${1}"><a href="#">$1</a></li>$2
what I'm trying to accomplish is (replacing the spaces with underscores and making it all lowercase) <li id="this_is_a_mixed_case_string_with_spaces"><a href="#">This is a Mixed case String with SPACES</a></li>
I'd really like to understand how to accomplish this (rather than just get an answer).
thanks in advance

Take a look in the TextMate documentation § 7.7 "Transformations". You'll find what you're looking for there.
Alas I wish there where more basic explanation in the docsI can''t for the life of me figure it out..

How does this work for you:
${1:type here} RESULT: ${1/(\w+)((?:_|\s)+)?/\L$1\E(?2:_)/g}
Your Code would look like: <li id="${1/(\w+)((?:_|\s)+)?/\L$1\E(?2:_)/g}"><a href="#">$1</a></li>
Breaking down the regular expression:
(\w+) = This is the first group, $1, matching a word ( (?:_|\s)+ ) = This is the second group, $2, matching multiple underscores and whitespace
Replacing with:
\L$1\E = Lowercase version of $1, the word (?2:_) = If something was found for $2, make it a single underscore
This doesn't handle non-word characters like !@#$%'" etc.
Does this point you in the right direction? - Joseph Pecoraro

Joseph Pecoraro's message brings to mind that §20.4 of the TextMate help would also be useful.
thanks guys!

I can't remember where I got this, but it should do the trick. Been using it for ages.
<h2 id="${1/[[:alpha:]]+|( )/(?1:_:\L$0)/g}">${1:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}</h2>
* * *
This snippet uses a placeholder:
${1:placeholder-text}
This snippet mirrors what you type in another place:
${1:Hello} #1 gets mirrored here: $1 ${2:Type something else here} and #2 gets mirrored here: $2
This snippet replaces spaces with underscores:
${1:Text with spaces} Mirrored with transformations: ${1/( )/_/g}
Hope this helps clear things up.
