Remove invalid (disallowed, bad) characters from FileName (or Directory, Folder, File) [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try the following

public string MakeValidFileName(string name) {
  var builder = new StringBuilder();
  var invalid = System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars();
  foreach ( var cur in name ) {
    if ( !invalid.Contains(cur) ) {
      builder.Append(cur);
    }
  }
  return builder.ToString();
}
