In a Linux system a file name can even contain a new line character 
Please note that at least "/" cannot be part of a file name in Linux. I
assume "\" is invalid in Windows too.

Still do not know for what "NG" stands, but it's not important.
Maybe use "No".

A German umlaut such as ü is "u" with two dots about. The proper
transliteration of it in 7 bit environments is "ue". Same for
ä, ö, Ü becomes Ue, ß becames ss. Is it possible to implement this?
