Getting a list of all filenames with symbols

Postby Pang0lin » Mon Jul 21, 2014 6:01 am

Is it possible to use the file mask to display a list of all the files in a directory with special characters? Specifically I'm looking to filter to files with one or more of the characters \ / : * ? \ " < > | # % in them.

Is this a joke? Is April the 1th again?
On what filesystem you are on where such symbols would be allowed in a filename anyway? Not on Win32 for sure. Except for that are lock-alike unicode signs and for # + %.


You should tell us what your really are after...




BTW, to filter files you can use the Selection(12) Filter box (http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Screenshots.php)





Please wait a few seconds then submit. Thank you.
