$mknickfn creates a valid filename from a nickname by replacing certain characters with the underscore character "_" / $chr(95).


Synopsis

$mknickfn(nickname)

Parameters

Note: While this ensures a string is a valid filename, it does not ensure 2 different strings wouldn't get assigned the same filename, with both having different characters replaced with the same underscore.
