Ok, here some more resources: RegExp example: http://www.devdaily.com/blog/post/java/remove-non-alphanumeric-characters-java-string
Windows filenames & paths: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx - - - On the other hand: how to deal with non-latin alphabets? (that is, allowing Unicode file names? e.g. Japanese, Korean, Cirillic, Greek, ... filenames?) See for instance this: http://kourge.net/projects/regexp-unicode-block Maybe in this case it would still be easier to go for the mouse-cat solution which apparently is a bit less daunting... ... well, for now I'll stick with alphanumeric RegExp: - good side: such files would be easier to index if made public - downside: not everyone in the world knows a latin-alphabet based language...? -- Mathieu On Aug 30, 12:37 pm, bdk <mathieu.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hmm...
