Hello all,

I am looking for an efficient rule that will strip some special characters which are not Windows / Dropbox friendly from filenames - specifically

\ Back slash
/ Forward slash
? Question mark
* Asterisk
" Quotation mark
: Colon
< Less than
> Greater than
# Hash mark
% Percent sign

I still wish to keep brackets, spaces, underscores and dashes so a lot of the regex code out there will not work for me. Just hoping someone has tackled this already.

If you click on an attribute in a rename pattern, you'll see a "Replace text" option. You should be able to use that to strip those characters out.
