Hi Danny,
Just pass the name of file in belo metioned function it will remove all the
special charactor into the name
Function RemoveSpecialChrs(s As String) As String
Static RegEx As Object
If RegEx Is Nothing Then
Set RegEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
With RegEx
.Global = True
.Pattern = "\\|/|:|\*|""|\?|<|>\|| "
End With
End If
RemoveSpecialChrs = RegEx.Replace(s, "")
End Function
Note: if you want to include more special charactars thwen just apply them
in
In Line:
.Pattern = "\\|/|:|\*|""|\?|<|>\||*#|@|$ *"
Regards
Prince
