That definetly is much easier, like I said before, I am no expert at 
RegEXP. I am trying to modify an image within a  custom directory 
created with the person's username, and because Rmagick doesn't seem to 
want to work, I will have to run /usr/bin/convert, and I feel uneasy 
putting user inputted text in a shell, but this regExp should do the job 
of sanitizing it. Again, thank you very much for helping a 
misunderstanding novice like me.
