Remove illegal characters

[Ruriko]

I want to rename all my folders by removing illegal & special characters. How can I do this?

You can try with brc32 - Bulk rename utility. I use it for strip accented characters with /STRIPACCENTS

You can use also Multi-Rename Tool in TC.

For simple removing illegal & special characters try this:

Code: Select all

Rename mask: file name: [N]
Extension             : [E]

Search for            : [^A-Za-z0-9_. ]
Replace with          : <Clear>
RegEx                 : YES 

For replacing illegal & special characters with other ones you can use something like this (please replace searched and replaced characters with your own set):

Code: Select all

Rename mask: file name: [N]
Extension             : [E]

Search for            : ;|-|!|ä|&|
Replace with          : .| |i|a| and |
RegEx                 : NO
