Here is a list from MSDN:
- Use any character in the current code page for a name, including
Unicode characters, except characters in the range of zero (0) through 31,
or any character that the file system does not allow. A name can contain
characters in the extended character set (128–255). However, it cannot
contain the following reserved characters:
< > : " / \ | ? *
Which brings up a point I meant to add when I said it depends on the
operating system - it also depends on which file system in use. I believe
that FAT has some reserved characters that NTFS does not.
The < > : " /\ | ? * characters are the ones I usually think of as the
illegal characters. But, 0 through 31 should be added to that. Using
ooRexx, you are not going to get access to Unicode file names.
