Question

Renaming all incorrect filenames

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.
