Oh, sorry. I'd like to remove illegal characters for filenames used in OS 9. As I am only looking to use the variable to name a folder I'm not concerned about extensions.

Thanks,

Steve

What exactly do you want? OS 9 legal filenames? OS X? Room for extensions? Allow current extensions? Remove illegals or replace with legals?

How can I remove certain characters (or patterns of characters) from a string?

I need to check for, and remove, all illegal characters from a string variable before using it to name a new folder.

Thank you.

Steve
