Dear list,
I would like to name a file according to an user defined entry.
However, the user's name entry might be illegal as a filepath,
containing illegal characters for a pathname like "." or "-" as 1st
character, "/", ":", etc.
I've looked into the Cocoa docs for NSString and NSFileManager to no
avail.
Is there a recommended way to "clean" an NSString in order to get a
valid filepath? One could simply replace all suspicious characters
with an underscore (or something else), but that is not very elegant
and feels like fighting the framework.
Cheers,
Knut
