Script for renaming specific characters in the metadata

Post by DustinHoffman »

Hi

I have a problem with the character encoding in Bridge´s metadata. Characters like å, ä, ö, ® is replaced with others characters. I think there is something with the encoding, UTF-8 and ASCII but i´m not so familiar with it. So my solution to this is a script where I can replace all this characters. Someone to have a solution to this?

Thanx!

Bridge can use these characters without any problem.
You need to find out how the metadata was entered and where the problem is.
To change the characters by a script you would need to know what character is needed to change to what.

Hi Paul MR

The characters I can find so far are

ˆ = ö
‰ = ä
 = å
Æ = ®
È = é
? = (The question mark shows sometimes as the first character in a sentence, so in this case it should be replaced with nothing, just removed.)

I hope this is enough information for you. Thanks a lot! / Joakim
