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.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Brett,

You will probably get more/better responses from a few members of this list, but OS X includes a whole host of basic, yet often quite useful, AppleScripts in the following folder...

Users/[username]/Library/Scripts/

'Replace Text in Item Names.scpt' is probably just the script you're looking for. If you don't find it on your system, send me an e-mail off list, and I'll send you the file.
