I save the images of a post in the sub-folder named after the post's title.

But there are some characters that can't be used in the name of folder, i.e., /\:*?"<>|

So I add those characters into a list, and replace them with underscore '_'
Loop List
Replace Text
End Loop


It works fine except for the asterisk, which is used as wild-card in the Replace Text action.


How can I replace the character '*' ?

and FYI, I also use Loop List and Replace Text to escape ' , LF, and CR that are not allowed in a SQL query. It took me some time to figure out that the LF and CR caused the problem. We need a mysql_real_escape_string() action here.

I think you should try a regular expression with the Match Regex action.

yap,

Match and Replace RegEx in [title] with regex \* and replace with _

works fine so far.

Thanks.
