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

Synopsis

$mknickfn(nickname)

Parameters

nicknameNickname to be made a valid filename by replacing certain characters with $chr(95) Underscore.

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.
