Does anyone have an AppleScript that can recusively go through folders and strip off non-PC compatible (ie $, ", ?, etc) characters?

Thanks.

I'm sure it's out there, but I'd look at this:

my company uses it to ensure compatability with our PC clients. It works very nicely with a decent search and replace.

Apple provides scripts that can handle tasks such as yours, perhaps already installed on your hard drive. You can download them at Apple's Free AppleScript Scripts web page (ie, Replace Text In Item Names).

If you want to write your own script, I suggest that you add Leonard Rosenthol's RegEx Commands OSAX to your Scripting Additions folder. RegEx Commands allows you to easily add search and replace functions to scripts including using "Regular Expressions."
