[ char in tablename makes Refine unable to save in Excel format #574

I guess I've found a bug in Google Refine (last stable version for mac).

If you want to export a table in excel format and its name contains a special 
char such as "[", google refine crashes and doesn't save it.

Could you please name the Google Refine version + iOS version + an example of a 
name that crashes?

It's confirmed also for refine 2.5 in Linux.
It seems that spetial characters are not replaced before saving the file in 
XlsExporter.java: 83 
And poi, does not support this in the filename:

    never null
    minimum length is 1
    maximum length is 31
    doesn't contain special chars: : 0x0000, 0x0003, / \ ? * ] [
    Sheet names must not begin or end with ' (apostrophe)

I upload a posible patch for this.

Thanks for the patch!  Patch applied in r2582.  Look for the fix in the 2.6 
release.
