\MakeValidFName(FileName) |
| Parameters: |
| FileName |
| Required. Any string to be turned into a valid file name. |
| Comments: |
Any characters in FileName that cannot be used in a file name will be traded for a unique, two-character set: the Delete character (7F) followed by an integer. The integer increments with each successive replacement. This function was designed to deal with the situation of saving (new format) tags to a database for later retrieval. Defined at the VTScada level - not available to script applications. |
Examples:
NewName = "VTSDB\Widget.SRC"; NewName = MakeValidFName(NewName);
NewName will now contain "VTSDB⌂0Widget.SRC"
