Batch Action / Remove Characters and Spaces

uzapuca · 01-28-2013, 05:46 PM

Hi guys
Is there any script, automator function or Batch Rename program that you might know which remove

1) space between words and put a "_" hyphen instead
2) remove all non standard web characters (for a linux server) like written accents, characters is other language like "ñ", etc?

I am doing them by hand and it is taking me quite a while.

Thanks for any help or info!

Best,
S

There are lots of batch renaming programs for working with files.
