[Closed] test string for valid maxfile save

Depending on exactly what you want, there are a number of different things you can do

	fn isValidFilename sFilename = (

		local bIsValid = true
		local lstInvalid = #("<", ">", "|", "\"", "\\", "/", ":", "*", "?")
		
		for sChar in lstInvalid do (
		
			if (findString sFilename sChar) != undefined do (
			
				bIsValid = false
				break
			
			)
		
		)
		
		return bIsValid
	)

This function will determine if the “file” is valid (not if the path and extension) for windows long filenames.

If you have a full path, you will need to use “getFilenameFile” to extract just the “file” element of the string

You could use a string filter to determine if the directory structure existed or not as well, but it all depends on what it is you have and what you want to do with it
