Is it possible to search for all file names or folder names that contain non-ascii characters in them? Currently, I right-click a folder and get a command-prompt. Then I run... powershell -Command "gci -recurse . | where {$_.Name -match '[^\u0000-\u007F]'}" and this works. However, it would be …

* MATCHES [^\x{0000}-\x{007F}] To check in path and all tags.

see e.g. here: [image] Filtering European ASCII characters Support When I select the above only the first line is copied, and when I try to paste the second line onto the end of the first in the Mp3tag filter, it doesn't seem to work. Also, I'm sure that there's meant to b…

Thanks for this. One example hard codes a bunch of characters to search for. Not what I am looking for. But this example, ARTIST MATCHES "[\xc0-\xff]"... is this doing the same thing as the powershell command?

[image] mrralan: But this example, ARTIST MATCHES "[\xc0-\xff]"... is this doing the same thing as the powershell command? Have you tried that expression?

[image] mrralan: ARTIST MATCHES "[\xc0-\xff]" Yes, but it is not finding all the ascii characters... for example, ö... and substituting [^\u0000-\u007F] does not yield the correct results.

Did you try this syntax : ARTIST MATCHES [\x{0000}-\x{007F}] (I don't know what the range \u0000-\u007F should include, maybe you can explain what do you like to filter? Do you mean all this characters U0000.pdf 498.00 KB inlcuding all the control chars? Or…

I have an mp3 player that cannot display certain non-ascii characters. I want to filter anything that has characters that are NOT in the list 0000 - 007f. Once I can identify which file names have these, I can replace them with the ascii equivalent. For example, I had a folder named, Eydie Gormé.…

Or see this thread: [image] Regular expression to filter path names with diacritics Support Some software (in my case I'm thinking of MusicIP) cannot handle file and path names that contain diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.: e.g., é, â, ü, ñ). But you may already h…

NOT %path% MATCHES ^[a-zA-Z0-9\W]*$ is giving me the same results as ARTIST MATCHES "[\xc0-\xff]"... but searching the entire path. It seems that ö is being found with "[\xc0-\xff]". It's just that I had that character in some TITLES so I had to change it to TITLE MATCHES "[\xc0-\xff]". What is s…

[image] mrralan: What is still not being detected is Apostrophe character Are you sure that it is the genuine apostrophe that you are looking for? See e.g. here: [image] Apostrophe vs. Accent aigu General Discussion It depends on where you use this apostrophes. If …

Yes, the Apostrophe is what I meant. Some of them use the accent in words like "wasn't" or "don't" and these don't work. The only acceptable characters are the ones that fall within the range '[^\u0000-\u007F]'}". It looks like we have a winner with dano's expression! * MATCHES [^\x{0000}-\x{007…
