Subject: Flash Renamer
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2006 19:23:33 +0100Hi,
Flash Renamer will be able to do it for you. The easiest way is to use the
"Find & Replace" funcions. Type "é" in the find box and "e" in the replace
box. The program will now replace all occurences for you! Repeat for the
other charactes that cause trouble for you. (Hint: If you are going to do
this more than once you can add the letters you want to replace to the
"batch replace" list.)
