And why would that not be valid? isValidPath and isValidFilename are quite specific about what they think are valid path/file names, and having a # in a file name is perfectly legitimate. They do have some extra restrictions for Windows, since Windows is a lot pickier about its filenames than the rest of the world, but # is not one of the characters listed as invalid: https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#isValidPath https://dlang.org/phobos/std_path.html#isValidFilename It would be invalid to have # as a drive name, but it's perfectly legal in a filename or directory name. - Jonathan M Davis
