Specifically I have a file with a question mark in it. I need to remove that so Windows can manipulate the file.

You can use the replace method to replace one character with another. Read more about it here: http://www.advancedrenamer.com/docs/docs_show.p hp?ident=method_replace |

Hello, I know this is an old thread, but I need to know what expression to put in order to remove all illegal characters from a word. I tried with [<>:"/\*?] but it deosn't seem to work with < and > characters. what is the escape character? in the windows it is said that \ is expression separator whereas normal escape character. Thanks |

Generally the regex escape char is '\' . |
