TICKET ARCHIVE -> Deleting forward slash in filenames

Catbird - Mar 13, 2006 - 3:44 pm

In OSX, when moving or copying files, folders etc for storage which contain a forward slash, the procedure is halted. Can I automate the process of deleting the / by using the Automator?
Please don't use too much tech-speak! K.I.S.S.?!

I imagine you could create an Automator script to handle the renaming process just by using a series of Finder actions. If Automator is too complicated, you might want to use a simpler Find & Replace utility such as MassReplaceIt (which you can find on VersionTracker.com) to find the slashes and replace them with hyphens or whatever character you prefer.
