Validate a file name on Windows

Question

public static boolean isValidName(String text)
{
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(\"^[^/./\\\\:*?\\\"<>|]+$\");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text         


        

Answer 1

Well, I think the following method would guarantee a valid file name:

public static boolean isValidName(String text)
{
    try
    {
        File file = new File(text);
        file.createNewFile();
        if(file.exists()) file.delete();
        return true;
    }
    catch(Exception ex){}
    return false;
}

What do you think?
