Validate filename in attachment column before uploading

[Felice]

Hi,
I am experiencing some problem with the filename of some document.

The users print out articles from internet and upload them as they are using the upload button of the attachmentcolumn. The problem comes when in the file name there are chars like < > ' which in our case cause exceptions.
To avoid the problem I would like to filter (strip out those special chars from the filename) before uploading.
To do so I need to get access to the filename of the file before it gets uploaded, manage it and pass it back to the attachmentcolumn control.
How can I achieve that?

               var fileName = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1);

               //Remove File IF it is not valid
