Hi,
I tried to validate file path without calling file creating functions.
Is it possible? How?

>I tried to validate file path without calling file creating functions.
How do you define "validate"?
Do you mean, the syntax is correct?
It's a path to a directory that exists?
It's a path and filename that I can open and read/write to?
Generally if you're going to need to do any file operation to it
subsequently, you may as well just do it.

Hi Dave ,
My path validation mean syntax validation, I tried a lot to find out
some way to check path validation without trying to create that path.
Let suppose
1) "C:\temp*2"
2) "D:\temp\abc\RE :Your File.txt"
all above paths are not valid.
Guide me, how I can validate path syntax?

I don't think that you can say definitively that a path is valid. Sure, you
can weed out some obvious invalid file paths, but the underlying file system
makes the final determination. So, what is valid on a local NTFS-formatted
disk may not be valid on a mapped network drive or on a optical device. What
is your ultimate objective, exactly?

As Will says, there's no guarantee, but maybe some of the Path* APIs
such as PathCleanupSpec (), PathFileExists( ), PathGetCharType () may be
useful?

Not the OP, but to keep this moving:
Let's assume that this is some settings dialog, which stores configuration
parameters to some service or scheduled task, so the file access attempt
won't occur until much later, but you'd like to
In that case, a good first test can be made using a simple regular
expression.
In C++/Winapi however, this type of sanitization isn't needed -- you can
just wait for the actual file access to fail. However, for
languages/libraries with "smarts" built in to file access functions
(especially i/o redirection, etc) ala perl, bash, etc, sanitization is key
because otherwise you could potentially overwrite something important.

Hi, after coding for days on stupid form validations -
Like:
strings (min / max length), numbers(min / max value), money(min / max
value), postcodes(min / max value), telefon numbers,
email adresses and so on.
I thought it might be a better way to programm an automated, dynamic
form validation that works for all kinds of fields, shows the
necessary error messages and highlights the coresponding form fields.

A few questions about the following code. How would I "wrap" this in a
function, and do I need to?
Also, how can I make the code smart enough to realize that when a file
has 2 or more bad charcters in it, that the code needs to run until all
bad characters are gone? For example, if a file has the name
"<bad*mac\file" the program has to run 3 times to get all three bad
chars out of the file name.
The passes look like this:

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.
