From (v=vs.85).aspx, We know Windows reserve some characters:

< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)

I have a file name which contains e of those special characters, I want to replace those with "", something like this (string.replace(/\<>/g, '')
Thanks

• This is a challenging request as Windows has odd file name rules. See this SO article: stackoverflow./questions/754307/… – jwatts1980 Commented Aug 8, 2014 at 17:39

You can put all those characters inside a character set:

string.replace( /[<>:"\/\\|?*]+/g, '' );
