  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 255 is correct.
