I know how to replace a character: eg



public string CleanFilename(string szName)

{

   szName = szName.Replace('!', '_');    

   szName = szName.Replace('?', '_');    

   szName = szName.Replace(':', '_'); 

   szName = szName.Replace('\\', '_'); 

   szName = szName.Replace('/', '_'); 

   foreach (char ch in System.IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars())

   {

      szName = szName.Replace(ch, '_'); 

   }

   return szName;

}


But how to remove a character, specifically characters that create errors in file names. Thanks

The foreach loop you have is how I would do this. Is it not working for you?

Thanks for the reply. It is replacing characters. So for example, "What is this?" becomes "What is this_". I just want to remove the character. I tried:

szName = szName.Replace('?', '');


But Sound Forge complained about an empty character literal.

I figured it out. I need:

szName = szName.Replace("?", "");

Yeah, that will do it. I didn't understand what you were asking.
