[General] Non-ascii characters in filenames ... [General]

I have a utility that scans a bunch of files and reports the following error - "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2014' in position 100: ordinal not in range(128)" but doesnt report which file :-(

I suspect it cannot handle filenames that are not pure ascii - is there a way with the excelent ZTW to filter any files with non-ascii characters so that I can rename them ???

Regards,
Bob
