I have a program that deals with files and in some cases those

the file becomes invalid. How do I fix this?
You are going to have to explain your situation in more detail if we
are to have any hope of helping.
I.e. given that filenames with slashes in them are illegal in Unix,
how do you expect this to work?
Or, to put it another way, why do the filenames have slashes in them?
You might find it useful to read the discussion of slashes versus
colons in filenames in this Usenix article:
