Title: Find & Replace special symbols
Hello all,
I’m using a digital asset management solution to organize our image library. For some reason the application is not seeing folders & files that contains symbols like /, #, @, ~, *, $, \. In our server I discovered a folder with thousands of images in subfolders that have those special symbols.
I need to replace all special symbols with _ (underscore), label them with a color ( to know which files names were changed)
In Automator I’m using:
-Find Finder Items action whose name contains #
-Label Finder Items
The workflow works but I don’t see an action that allows to replace all instances of the special symbol change them to _.
Also in the Find Finder Items action whose name contains... If I use the + to add more criteria like # and / and $ Automator only shows one of the items in the criteria.
Obviously I’m doing something wrong but that’s why I’m posting this message.
Thank You in advance
