I am importing an existing database with partyIds like P&G#1 and BEN+JERRIES

I assumed that the standard URL symbols would be illegal, so I converted '&'
to a '+' and most other punction to '_'.  However, the '+' sign gets passed
to the bash script as a space.  In other words, "P+G" gets passed as "P G"
which causes obvious problems.

Is there a list somewhere of what characters are legal (or illegal) so I
don't have to make guesses about it?

Thanks in advance if this is a stupid newbee question.
