Hi everyone  
i really suck at coding and cant figure it out for myself.  
so i want to remove every symbol that is not a regular char like (é á ִִç etc) from the file name (if posible from \_all)  
and all symbols (\ / [] \* $ ? ! # " \_ @) also

tried many variations with no success.

Thanks.

Rsini.

EDIT: if posible to replace special chars (é á ִִç etc) with regular (e a c) would be great

Use an action of the type "Format value" for the field that should be cleaned up  
Format string: $replace(%fieldname%,,,/,,[,,],,é,e,à,a,c,c)  
(please complete the pairs yourself)
