Default Validating Input Box

Hi All

Is there any easy way I can validate the string entered by the user in
an input box?

I basically don't want the user to enter characters that are considered
invalid for file/folder names. i.e., \ / : * ? " < |

Will I have to parse the string and check each character one by one or
is there any easy way to do it?

Ideas appreciated.

Thanks
Satish
