hi guys,
I have this:
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
'(("foo" . "file:/path/to/%(myfun).txt")))
I'm trying to have "myfun" replace any spaces in the tag with underscores,
but I'm not having much luck. Would someone mind giving me a hint?
Thanks.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((cons-pair '("foo bar loo" "file:x")))
(replace-regexp-in-string "[[:space:]]" "_" (car cons-pair)))
#+end_src
#+results:

this
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
'(("foo" . "file:/path/to/%s.txt")))
allow me to do this
[[foo:file to open]]
but it creates a file with spaces in the name. so I'd like to replace "%s"
with "%(myfun)".
with your example, how can I get "foo bar loo" from
[[foo:foo bar loo]]
see what I mean?

Using Thorsten's suggestion
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
'(("foo" . "file:/path/to/%(foobar).txt")))
(defun foobar (x)
(replace-regexp-in-string "[[:space:]]" "_" x))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
will turn
[[foo:foo bar loo]]
to
[[file:/path/to/foo_bar__loo.txt]]
when you click on it.

You might consider using the built-in `org-link-escape', it's likely to
do everything you need, and it's battle-tested!
