How Do I replace ? and / with _

Support
1

I'm looking to replace the ? to _ when I convert the tag to filename. Also how do I replace the / with _ when I convert the tag to filename.

Example: Maroon 5 - Secret / Ain't No Sunshine
To Filename: Maroon 5 - Secret _ Ain't No Sunshine

           Maroon 5 - How Are You?

To Maroon 5 - How Are You_

I only use the / to separate song titles in a melody

Thanks.

Use $validate(filename string,_)
This replaces the invalide filename characters /?*"<>|: with _

This is a great question. I use invalid characters in the actual tag fields, but always have to replace them in file names. I use ^ instead of _, though.

Is there any way to get the program to replace invalid characters with ^?

... and already answered.

You can take the Mp3tag manual and look for scripting functions ...
https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting
$replace()
$validate()
... both functions can do the replacement of characters in their special way.
