Legalising filenames for OneDrive

I'm using Microsoft OneDrive and I have a lot of documents which contain invalid characters in their filenames that OneDrive will not handle. I've been trying to make a method list that will rename or remove them. The tricky characters to get rid of are leading and trailing spaces and *
I wonder if anyone has created a method list that would do all these in one go ? Vic |

1. Strip the ff: Characters ~ " # % & * : < > ? / \ { | }." # % * : < > ? / \ | 2. trim front and rear parts of spaces |

Method #1: Replace Text to be replaced: [\<\>\:\"\/\\\|\?\*] Replace with (one space): Occurence: All use regular expression: checked Method #2: Replace Text to be replaced: ^\s?(.+?)\s?$ Replace with: \1 use regular expression: checked cheers |
