Well no , because they are not "invalid" characters.
you could write something pretty easily using Replace and Move

the odd chars seem to be where the dot should be.
for any 3 letter extension something like this should do the trick...

If sFile[sFile.Len-4]<>"." then Move sFile to Replace(sFile,
sFile[sFile.Len-4], ".")
