Re^4: Removing Bad Characters from a String

actually, i'm not sure about your assertion that those additional characters are banned in FAT. i'm running on my parents' win 98 machine, which has a FAT filesystem (i first assumed, but then i checked, and it is FAT). i successfully named a file 'a[0] += 7 % 3.txt'. this is also the OS i got my error message from.
i'd upload a small image as proof, but i'm not really sure how.

I think you are right. Those extended characters are allowed in windows long filenames (vfat). I think however that DOS 6 does not allow any of them.	[reply]
