Renaming all incorrect filenames

[sfurlan]

hello,

we have hundreds filenames with not compliant url characters such as spaces, quotes, comma and french accents.

As we decided to generate our KB on web server (Webhelp on a linux server), we search a way to rename all filenames in one shot.

Does it exist an option ? A script ?

Same problem with folder names

And I have seen an another issue: when we rename a folder from RH, pictures in this folder are not moved. Can we do a link ?

Infos:

RoboHelp 9.0.2.271

Projects imported from RH5 ... imported from old CHMs ... probably generated from MS Word documents.

Thank's !

you should not try doing such renaming through scripts as it will just change the file/folder name but would fail to update its references (links/Index/TOC etc.).

It would be one time effort of renaming the through UI you can also try using some UI automation tool to do that like Auto-it.

but work on a backup

I was afraid of this.

Thank you for your answer.
