I need to change two characters in over 500 folder/document names. Is
there some sort of applescript that I can use to do this?
Specifically, I need to remove the " mark from several

I am a COMPLETE newbie, so any help is appreciated.

If it's a one-off task, you might be better off downloading something like R-Name and letting it do all the hard work for you. Not that this wouldn't be a good first topic to learn AppleScript with, but you can't easily undo the effects of some scripting errors...
