Magno,
Ha! Clever workaround. I have invested some time already, however, going down
the path of rolling my own sanitizer… So, I think I'll keep going - since I'll
be able to re-use it after I'm done for other user inputs, later. I'll give
your suggestion a try later, after I'm done and see how well it works - maybe
I'll change my mind! ;^)
Thanks,
Rich
