You can replace the "'s with another character that is accepted to save
them to the INI file, and when you go to load the names back, convert
that chracter back to "

Replace$(aw_string$(AW_AVATAR_NAME), chr(34), "_")

For the record, if you are making something that needs to be high
performance - INI files are terrible for it, especially when writing them on
XP2.

That is correct, a simple string replace.

You could encode the filename using for example the encoding technique
for URL strings. That's what xelagot does when saving files for
individual worlds.

unchanged: "a" to "z", "A" to "Z", underscore "_", numbers "0" to "9"
spaces are replaced by "+" symbol (or by %20)
all other characters are formed by a "%" followed by two characters,
standing for the hexadecimal value of the character. For example, "%"
is encoded as %25.

To read back, apply the converse system: (1) change all "+" to spaces,
(2) then any time the "%" char appears, check if the following two
chars form a hex number, convert it to the corresponding character.

I use these two function (in Delphi ppascal). Note that in Delphi,
string chars start at 1, I think in C they start at 0.

function URLEncode(u: string): string;
var
i: Integer;
const
okchars =
'1234567890_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
begin
Result := '';
for i := 1 to Length(u) do
begin
if Pos(u[i], okchars) > 0
then Result := Result + u[i]
else if u[i] = ' ' then Result := Result + '+'
else Result := Result + '%' + IntToHex(Byte(u[i]), 2);
end;
end;

function URLDecode(u: string): string;
var
i: Integer;
begin
Result := '';
i := 1;
while i <= Length(u) do
begin
if u[i] = '%' then
begin
try
Result := Result + Char(StrToInt('$' + u[i + 1] + u[i + 2]));
except
end;
inc(i);
inc(i);
end
else if u[i] = '+' then Result := Result + ' '
else Result := Result + u[i];
inc(i);
end;
end;

Did you get the wrapper to work in VB.net? I've had no luck at all.
