in reply to finding odd characters in a string that I am creating in the script

and I'm just not seeing what I'm doing wrong.

Really? You have Illegal characters , and error messages gives you a list

\ (backslash) / (forward slash) : (colon) | (pipe) * (asterisk) ? (question mark) " (double quote) < (less than) > (greater than) \t (tab) \ck (vertical tabulator) \r (newline CR) \n (newline LF)
Origin: This is a human error. Solution: A human must remove the illegal characters from this string.
