[Isis-users] ABCD and automatic field update

[spinaker]

Great, it works!!!

so, what we need now is a function to clean a string of all 
non-alphanumeric elements, i.e. spaces, typographic characteres, etc.
in this way you can create keys for FRBR independently of the 
punctuation used in cataloging (isbd or other)
