Thorsten Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Just repace the "é" with "," than it I think it works, it because of ANSI and ASCII!Greetings Thorsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Yes, definitely is a problem with ANSI/ASCII conversion, you could try to make use of this trick:Writing batch files with NotepadWindows' own Notepad may be the easiest editor available for writing batch files.Since you probably used it before, at least it doesn't have a "steep learning curve".Be aware, though, that extended ASCII characters entered in Notepad may sometimes result in completely different characters in the resulting batch file. A tip mailed to me by Denis St-Pierre is to use the good old EDIT command to create a batch file with extended ASCII characters like accented letters or "border lines".I use File Commander's editor myself for the same reason. This makes me suspect that any "text mode editor" could do the trick. I can confirm that COPY CON filename and ECHO accented_text > filename do.Found here:http://www.robvanderwoude.com/notepad.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
