Any way to bulk edit titles to remove special characters?

I imported a lot of listings from ebay that have asterisks in the title and would like to replace them with spaces does anyone know how to make this happen in bulk editing? thanks

Not possible to do in Batch Editor. The only way to do that would be to get the listings into a CSV (spreadsheet file, like Excel) and then use the “find and replace” feature (within the spreadsheet software) to change the characters to something else (or even a " " << space).

Overall, that would involve exporting the listings to a CSV file, changing the text using find/replace, and then importing the CSV file back into Bonanza.

Bonanza batch edit items have an option to add/replace a text only in descriptions.

I don’t use CSV files, so can’t estimate the time You would need to make export/changes/import.

There is a possibility to change Your titles in the batch edit without opening each listing (which is helpful), but not in a bulk.

Please, check [URL removed] [URL removed]

if You hover the cursor over any title, You will see right to it a ‘pencil’ icon – click on it and You can make Your changes there and save them (without leaving the page).
