Hi



Anyone have any clever tips for removing special characters from text to make them filename firendly? For example < > { } ) ( etc.



I could do it with a massive nested substitute formula but that seems clunky so hoping there is a cleverer way of doing it.

Use REGEX. This will remove all “non word” characters



REGEX_REPLACE(Name, "e^ :word:]]", "")



This will remove all punctuation



REGEX_REPLACE(Name, "e,:punct:]]", "")
