"You can try the following function 


Public Function strip(ByVal des As String)

Dim strorigFileName As String

Dim intCounter As Integer

Dim arrSpecialChar() As String = {".", ",", "", ":", "?", """", "/", "{", "[", "}", "]", "`", "~", "!", "@", "#", "$", "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", "_", "-", "+", "=", "|", " ", "\"}

strorigFileName = des

intCounter = 0

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To arrSpecialChar.Length - 1



Do Until intCounter = 29

des = Replace(strorigFileName, arrSpecialChar(i), "")

intCounter = intCounter + 1

strorigFileName = des

intCounter = 0
