Hi,
I want to dynamically create folders based on the
customers' name (eg. Name Surname). I want to
make a function that will remove all eventual
unregular characters that customers name may have.

I have already solved the problem with appearances
of special chars that are not allowed: \ / : * ? " < > |
I replace them with '_'.
( I know that the name cannot contain these chars,
but they can be foisted ;)

The problem is what to do with some diacritical marks
that can appear in NON West European charset:
( ���Ȯ ). Win XP CAN access these folders but
Win98 cannot. Is there a common mechanism to
replace these chars with similar once, or I have to
make some custom coding.

When I say similar: ���Ȯ = SDCCZ

I need an idea... Maybe some comparative table.

Best regards,
Vladimir.
