Hmm i think i wasnt explaining it well enough ...
The code is mainly designed for removing illegal characters (todo) and spaces from filenames and directory trees on (documentation base at our fileserver). Example: 

#A subdir under the documentation base:
v:\sql\
15.07.2008  16:52            38.705 sql datensicherung.pdf
15.07.2008  16:54            32.120 SQL 2000 transaktionsprotokoll ver
+kleinern.pdf

So the code is harmful if started directly from the commandline. So i have either:
a) Change the code so that it doesnt just work on the current directory as is now. or
b) Check that it is not used on potential "dangered" directory trees.
b) Seems to be reasonable for me anyway, since the standard commandline starts at the users home directory (HOMEPATH=\Dokumente und Einstellungen\myuser) on Win32 and colleagues might use my code too without really knowing what it does ...

Thanks in Advance MH
