Batch removing stuff like "ѓЌѓ{’€ЃA&#1036

[Guest declassified]

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to convert a bunch of (Japanese) MP3 files to MP4/AAC using Nero's command line NeroAacEnc.exe. Unfortunately, it is unable to open file names containing characters like "ѓЌѓ{’€ЃAЌщЏА€К‹" and it simply ignores them.

Is there a program/script that can batch-remove those characters from the file names?

Thank you!

What about just using copy /n or xcopy /n to convert the filenames to 8.3 format?

thank you for the advice! but the files are kind of scattered around, and i would like something to run on my entire hdd, that only touches the files containing those invalid characters...

Try Magic File Renamer - http://www.finebytes.com/mfr/

look up the function called "Replace List"

then you can put each char in a txt file and have it replace the string(s) when found
