This file allows you to modify a set of selected file names from a file browser to meet the requirements of a matlab file name.
It can be useful for teachers who use teaching applications in which the student's name is added to the files in languages in which special characters are used.
Thought has been given to the main Latin languages and German but the change table is easily extendable to other languages.
Help messages are in English and Spanish. The selection of the language is made in the same file.
To use it the file must be started from Matlab and the files located with the browser.
No copy of the original name is preserved. Therefore it is recommendable to perform the operation of the original files in a duplicate directory if unmodified files with their original names must be preserved.
