I need a simple free software program that can strip out illegal characters such as question marks ????
from names of my files on Windows 7, 64 bit and can strip them in batch/bulk

If you have a lot filenames with "?" characters in them, then you should probably look for the cause of these filenames too, and not just stripping away these characters.– TFMJul 9, 2011 at 19:18

Sometimes Windows will "truncate" the file names due to its size. NTFS partitions limit the filename to 255 characters (someone please correct me if i am wrong)– DiogoJul 9, 2011 at 19:37

255 is correct.– surfasbJul 9, 2011 at 21:46
