[Question]: How to avoid having commas in renamed files?

[andreifoldes]

Greetings,

I was wondering how to best instruct Zotfile to avoid having commas in renamed files?
Additionally I think this might be useful to be included in the default behavior...

Had a similar issue come up with apostrophes, whenever I'd open the filepath with another program it would get mad at me.

My solution was to create a custom wildcard in Edit -> preferences -> advanced -> config editor -> wildcards.user:

{"1": {"field": "title", "operations":[{"function":"titleFormated"},{"function":"replace","regex": "(')","replacement": "","flags": "g"}]}}

This uses the usual title formatting followed by a regex to replace any ' characters with nothing. Then in the zotfile preferences you can use %1 instead of %t for the renaming rules. If you replace ' with , it should give you the desired effect. I hope that helps :)
