In C# how can I prepare a string to be valid for windows directory name
c#
Solution
You can use the full list of invalid characters here to handle the replacement as desired. These are available directly via the Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars and Path.GetInvalidPathChars methods.
Problem
I am writing a C# program which reads certain tags from files and based on tag values it creates a directory structure. Now there could be anything in those tags, If the tag name is not suitable for a directory name I have to prepare it to make it suitable by replacing those characters with anything suitable. So that directory creation does not fail. I was using following code but I realised this is not enough.. ``` path = path.replace("/","-"); path = path.replace("\\","-"); ``` please advise what's the best way to do it.. thanks,
