Character Translations

Bulk Rename Utility

Character Translations allows you to enter a specific character or sequence of characters, and have that translated into a different character or sequence of characters. So for example, you could specify that you always want a $ sign to be converted into the word DOLLAR.

There are three ways to enter the replacement data:

1.	As a character, e.g. A

2.	As a hex value, e.g. 0F

3.	As a decimal value, e.g. 065

Separate the FROM and the TO conversions with an equals sign. If you wish to actually convert an equals sign to/from something else then you can specify the hex or decimal value for the equals sign in your rules.

Bulk Rename Utility identifies the type of value entered by its length. So if your value is one character long then it's a direct character; two characters long and its a hex value; three characters long and its a decimal value.

In the following examples, every example is converting a capital "A" to a capital "B"

·	A=B (direct expression of the characters to convert)

·	41=42 (two character long, therefore hex values)

·	065=066 (three characters long, therefore decimal values)

·	A=066 (using a mixture of the above)

·	41=066 (using a mixture of the above)

If you wish to to convert several characters then you can separate the values by commas. So the following example will convert ABC to DEF:

·	41,066,C=D,E,070

If you wish to actually convert a comma sign to/from something else then you can specify the hex or decimal value for the comma sign in your rules.
