[Gllug] Making filenames 'FAT-safe' in bash

[Dylan]

Hi All,

I have a bash script which takes a list of files and copies them to a usb 
stick, partially re-creating the original directory structure as it goes. This 
all functions as expected until it reaches a file with non-FAT compatible 
characters. So, how do I remove these characters? I need to handle filenames 
with ' and " in them as well as ?, !, (, ), [, ], & ...

Any pointers would be gratefully received ...
