Hi,
I'm looking for a tool which renames files following regular
expressions.

Specifically, I want to eliminate non-7bit-ASCII characters from the
filenames (German "ä","ö","ü" etc.). This means, that I want to
replace every occurence of "ä" with "ae", "ö" with "oe", etc.

Anyone who knows of a suitable tool for windows?
Thanks,
Alex

You can take a look at Flexible Renamer v7.3
<quote>...a file/folder renaming utility, which can use Wildcard or
Regular-Expression and Tag-information (MP3, EXIF).</quote>
Screenshots in Japenese. Hopefully you can figure them out.

You can do this with Siren 1.60 (http://www.scarabee-software.net)
Doesn't support regular expressions but offer a renaming expression
system to achieve the task.

Try the following rename expression:
%@f("ä","ae")("ö","oe")

This will replace your umalauts and change single accented characters
to standard accii.
