In my experience, by far the easiest and simplest solution for this arises when
you just try to find and replace a single instance of a space in urls at a time.
Something like this search/replace pair (I didn't test it):
(\bhref="[^" ]*) ([^"]*\.png")
\1_\2
That example is just for spaces, not accents, and replaces the first occurrence
of a literal space in the url with an underscore.
You can run that with a replace-all op for the first space in each url, and then
hit replace-all again for each additional space, until it says there aren't any,
so eg if urls have no more than 3 spaces each then its 3 replace-all.
This works as long as your search/replace is idempotent, you are replacing with
something different than what you're replacing.
As for accents, you can deal with those with a similar process.

You might have a hard time figuring out a pattern for this (as I guess that the
amount of white space in the file names might differ and the file names may not
follow a strict structure). You could write a script for the task. Or – if it
was a one-shot-task – I would do the following steps:
1. Search for: href="(.+?)" replace with \1 (using Grep): choose
"Extract" – this gives you a new file with all href-Strings in it
2. In the new file: Copy all text
3. Replace all whitespace with _ (an underscore)
3. (for Accents and other stuff add additionals search-replace steps here)
4. Add a tab to each line (you could use the "Prefix/Suffix" command in the
"Text" menu for that
5. Mark the column left of the tab ("column zeor") with a rectangular selection
(check the manual if you don't know how to do this)
6. Paste the copied text
Now you have a file with the structure
<old file name with spaces><tab><old_file_name_without_spaces>
Save this file and use it as a ad-hoc batch-search-replace source on your
orignal file: To do this, choose "Text" > "Canonize …". with your generated file
as a source.
That might just take a few minutes and may be an alternative for getting a
script right – if you have a lot of different files to process, a script
solution may be the wiser choice.

Hi folks,
I need to find some trick to rename the text:
<resource type="webcontent"
identifier="g989516e6a95da788733f48e98192a620" href="web_resources/Anotación
2019-07-08 151143.png">
I need find all the .png names removing spaces and accents... Is there any
pattern to make it possible? Thanks!!!!
