Peter,
Sorry if I confused you.
I want to only allow alphanumeric characters and underscore or dash allowed
in a textfield that my user will put in a filename to rename the file to
when the upload is completed. 

Too much coffee this morning for me!

Not really sure what you're trying to ask so I'll just throw out some stuff
that might be helpful:

File upload fields are very limited in what you can do with them, for
security reasons that I would hope are obvious.

Any filtering/modification of filenames will need to be done after upload to
the server.

Always make sure files are uploaded to a non-web-accessible location, where
they are checked/sanitized appropriately, before being placed where you want
them to go.


If you need more help than that, then try re-stating what you're attempting
to do with more than two pieces of punctuation.
