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
