SharePoint character replacements

Postby yleclerc » Mon Jan 20, 2014 5:26 pm

I found Bulk Rename Utility in hopes to be able to send my companies files onto our SharePoint sites. We have a massive issue of needed to rename our files because we are using reserved characters that SharePoint does not allow in files name:

Tilde (~)
Number sign (#)
Percent (%)
Ampersand (&)
Asterisk (*)
Braces ({ })
Backslash (\)
Colon (:)
Angle brackets (< >)
Question mark (?)
Slash (/)
Plus sign (+)
Pipe (|)
Quotation mark (")

Can BRU help?

What's going on here? Most of them are non-valid signs to be used in file names anyway :D

To change a list of signs at once, try Character Translations ("Options > Character Translations... Strg+F6)
