Incroyable HULK Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I remember reading something about this but I can't find that post anymore...I get a Ý (Y with an accent) folder with nothing in it at the root of my C:\ Drive. I could solve this problem by deleting the folder with my cleanup.cmd (I'll need to figure how to write this caracter in DOS)but I would like to know what is causing this?ANY LUCK?

Alanoll Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Apple Quicktime I believe is the culprit.as for writing it in DOS, open up a command prompt, type EDIT, and then in the editor that opens, open your cleanup.cmd and type in the charracter there.

Incroyable HULK Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 QuickTime hum... (this is what you get with MACintosh people!) the thing is how do you get this caracter in DOS? I cannot copy and paste from the Caracter Table in DOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Try holding down the ALT key and press 0-2-5-3 on the num key pad, then release ALT.If it's a capital Y, then try alt 0-2-2-1.Cheers,Edit: Here's a link for other alt key codes:http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/interna...ts/codealt.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 It is supposed to be ALT + 0221 but I get this caracter ¦ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hmm. Not sure about that. It could be the particular font you are using in the dos window. You can enable quick edit mode in your DOS window. With a DOS window open, right click on the icon in the upper left corner, select properties, select the 'options' tab. Then check quick edit mode under edit options. You may have to select 'Lucida console' from the 'Fonts' tab for those characters to be seen.Cheers,EDIT: I forgot to mention that enabling 'quick edit mode' allows you to cut and paste in the dos window.

jrzycrim Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 hmmm. Not sure what to do now. Can you use notepad or similar to edit your cleanup.cmd?Those characters don't seem to display correctly in Edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
