[2008] Remove Chars from filenames

[Worf]

Hi again.

I have another problem that i need to solve to get my program to work correctly.

I need a routine or a couple of lines that will remove the following characters from filenames. These are Spaces, "." and "_" the one a found does not seem to work.


Many Thanks for you help

Is this what you are looking for?

        Dim FullPath As String = "C:\My_Dir\Just_A.File_Name.txt"
        Dim FileNameOnly As String = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FullPath)
        FileNameOnly = Replace(FileNameOnly, "_", "")
        FileNameOnly = Replace(FileNameOnly, ".", "")
        FullPath = IO.Path.Combine(IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(FullPath), _
                    FileNameOnly & IO.Path.GetExtension(FullPath))
        Debug.Print(FullPath)

Hi JumpyNET

Thank you for your reply.

This looks like just what i need, if this works i can delete the routine that removes the extention as this routine will make things alot easier for me.
