Ignoring & and and - in names

[wattmhite]

I'm trying to create a script that emails to a customer and sets the subject line automatically as the customers name or business name. The problem I'm having is when a business or customer has the AND or & symbol in the name it completely messes up the script. Is there a character or way to ignore an instance of the & or and symbol?

Not sure how exactly it messes up your script (haven't tried it myself), but surely you could substitute those characters out?

BTW, what is the AND symbol?
