Invalid File Path Names in Mac OS X

Hello,

I am trying to create a Javascript in Mac OS X 10.4.11, however I am having some trouble with what characters are valid in file path names in Mac OS X. Does anybody know where I can get a list of invalid characters that cannot be used in a file name?

Thanks,
james

Any character other than a colon can be used in the name, but additional characters and names may be handled differently if you are interacting with the UNIX shell in the script.
