What about using a PythonScript ? Either you iterate over all single character and match it against a given string containing all valid characters or use a regular expression. In this case you use allow_module() to allow using the re module inside PythonScripts.

Hello,
I need to create some filenames from the titles of some objects. In order to make these filenames correct, I need to create a function that checks the title string in order to see if there are any "non-allowed" characters in the string and strip them.
Right know I am doing a string.replace for the characters that aren't allowed, but it would be much easier to specify what characters that _is_ allowed.
I guess the function that adds a new object to Zope does it ... but I cannot find that function.
