Well if I use a regular open file panel when I get the list of file
names if any of them with slashes have been altered. I do know that
slashes are illegal characters in nix paths, but this app deals with
files primarily created on windows machines. Thus the file names
often have slashes such as file.mpg(1/2) etc. but when I get the
return from the panel it has become file.mpg(1:2) which of course
does not exist so it cannot be found.

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:
