Substitute special characters

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have files with colons (:) and questions marks which are valid on one file 
system but not another (mainly fat/vfat).

It would be great if we could specify a substitute character or characters, eg

-s : - -s ? --

could substitute a colon with a dash and substitute a question mark with 
nothing (-- symbolizes nothing in this case)

If the above makes things too complex then perhaps just a single substitution 
character may be sufficient.

Sorry - not a defect but a Enhancement request. Don't know how to change the 
Type.

Request changed. It sounds like an interesting idea. I would most likely make 
it support regular expressions, so people can mush the output file format any 
way they like. 

This however, would most likely be part of version 4 of flat2all, rather than 
current stable.
