Valentim Valentim Fresh Scripter Registered: 2010-01-04 Posts: 46 Loc: Brazil, PE, Recife	I managed to solve, thought it would be more complicated, I only needed think more. Code: Function StringReplace($String, $Search ,$Replace) $StringReplace = Join(Split($String, $Search), $Replace) EndFunction $aChars = Split('\ / : * ? " < > \| !',' ') For Each $char In $aChars $File = StringReplace($File, $char, "") Next _________________________
