$mknickfn creates a valid filename from a nickname by replacing certain characters with the underscore character "_" / $chr(95).
Synopsis
$mknickfn(nickname)
Parameters
nickname - The nickname to be made a valid filename by removing characters which are not valid in a filename
Example
//var %i 33 | var %f | while (%i isnum 33-126) { var %f %f $+ $chr(%i) | inc %i } | echo -a orig: %f | echo -a mknk: $mknickfn(%f) | echo -a mkfn: $mkfn(%f) | echo -a mklog: $mklogfn(%f)
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. It uses the same group of character replacements as used by $mkfn.
