function Handling illegal characters? - JeromyNix - 2012-10-02
A question, does XBMC have a (skinner accessible) function to replace illegal characters when searching for a filepath? For Instance, i want to search for the folder which contains my AC/DC music files. My import/export utility and encoder uses a underscore to replace illegal characters when writing to a location... So instead of "\path\to\artists\folder\AC/DC" the exact folder is "\path\to\artists\folder\AC_DC"
is there some function i can pass the artists name to replace illegal characters?
something like
Code:
ReplaceIllegalCharacters("_")or more specifically
Code:
ReplaceIllegalCharacter('/', '_')that will return "AC_DC"?

XBMC does not, and will not support such skin hacks, because even with this change they still don't work in general.

well would you object to a script that can provide skinners with tools like this?

Personally, yes, I would object to it. I wouldn't care whether skinners want to include it, however, as that isn't up to me.
