I am not sure if it is a wise idea to add only "." (the full stop). I tried the following characters, and they all are preceded by a space: . - _ # % , ; @ ! Basically, what I want is to write a file system path name such as C:\Path_to-my\file.ext. The above characters are all valid file system characters. Is there a better solution? Or are you willing to add all the above (maybe except for # and %) to the absolute cleaner? Thank you in advance for your help. Christoph
