validating path (oops)
Posted by Martijn on December 31st, 2003


Hi,

I want to check whether a filename that is entered is valid or not.
I can check "manually" by looking for disallowed characters. But for
all I know, this group of characters may change in future versions of
windows. I found PathGetCharType which could check a character - is
there a similar thing that will check an entire path without having
to traverse it?

Thanks in advance,

Martijn
