I have a requirement to compare large file structures, >80,000 files, which are moving from a file share into a document management system where certain characters are not allowed. The process we use to copy these files transforms the characters to a "--". What I need to do is to have:
File_Name.txt in the source folder be seen the same as File--Name.txt in the target.
In trying to utilize the Alignment Filter->Misc tab, and am having difficulty figuring out the correct syntax. I need to ignore the "_" and the "--" completely, just do my comparison without those characters at all. As if the names were "FileName.txt".
Ideas on how to accomplish this? My Regex skills are quite rusty, I believe that I need to set up the correct set for the Align Left and then use something like $1 on the other side. Anyone have an example of something like this?
Thanks in advance.
