Description: Renames filenames containing troublesome characters
Implements: fixnames
Version: 0.28 Build 0

A minor change - is it a good idea to have it also handle ' characters? Or anyone know the @replace command to do such please?

Also the /A option is not documented at the website listed above..

I don't think that the apostrophe causes any trouble in filenames. I certainly hope not; I'm already using it as the replacement for the grave accent / backquote.

TCC doesn't do anything with single quotes except in FOR parsing (which has nothing to do with filenames), and in regular expressions (where it would be a really bad idea to fiddle with it).

Oh sorry - I meant the Char[44] result..... the "," - sorry -

Just if FixNames could do:

for %fn in ("*,*") ren "%fn" "%@replace[%@char[44],_,%fn]"

The command you give works fine for me. You can boil it down a bit to:

for %fn in ("*,*") ren "%fn" "%@replace[,,_,%fn]"
