sanitiseText

java.lang.String sanitiseText(java.lang.String txt)

This method is called on uncontrolled text inputs that will end up as text or comment content in output cards. The output value must contain only legal FITS header characters, that is in the range 0x20-0x7e inclusive (see FitsUtil.isFitsCharacter(int)). If the input text contains no illegal characters, it should be returned unchanged. If it does contain illegal characters, it should be adjusted in some way to remove them, or a RuntimeException may be thrown.

Example implementations are provided in sanitiseAsReplacement and sanitiseAsError.

Parameters:

txt - non-null free text string

Returns:

string like input but containing only legal FITS characters

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this config is unable or unwilling to sanitise
