[QUOTE="YerMaw, post: 1385695, member: 228020"] Hello folks, I'm on the process of migrating some data from a Mac server to a Windows server. I'm using robocopy which is great, however I have ran into a little issue. As I'm sure you all know there are certain characters that you cannot use in a folder or file name in Windows. I've got loads of folders and files on the shares on this Mac that have characters such as /?*! in them. Can anybody suggest a batch file/script that I can run to find and strip all of these characters out of any folders or files it finds with these. I do have a Finder script which can do this, however it only runs in the folder you have open in Finder when you run it. I'd like a script that I can run from the root of where the shares are stored which runs through them all. Hope that all makes sense!!! ;D Can anybody help? [/QUOTE]
