What I mean is that if I am creating afilefrom a string variable, I
want to ensure that thefilewill actually be able to be created. So
if it contains a "?", then clearly I would want to eliminate it.
I know that there is something like URLencodethat encodes strings
for use in urls, but is there another function that works similarly
for strings for files that I want to create?
Thanks!
characters that are invalid are system specific, and some systems don't
have limitations at all.
The only portable way to handle this is to catch exceptions and report
them to the user.
