Good morning!

I'm having a hard time copying a file from one folder to another with the copy command.

I'm using UTF-8 Encoding, but cmd can not handle the accent to line below:

copy "C:\SVN\Makro\Templates e Orientações operacionais - Templates da Fábrica de Testes\FTMakro - MKRXXXXXX - QA de EFN.xlsx" "C:\SVN\Makro\Demandas\Fábrica Não Definida\EFN_%NomeDemanda%_Artefatos_de_Entrada_e_QA\FTMakro - %NomeDemanda% - QA de EFN.xlsx"

And returns error:

C:\SVN\Makro\Demandas\Fábrica Não Definida\EFN_za>copy "C:\SVN\Makro\Templates e Orienta?º?Áes operacionais - Templates da F?íbrica de Testes\FTMakro - MKRXX XXXX - QA de EFN.xlsx" "C:\SVN\Makro\Demandas\F?íbrica N?úo Definida\EFN_za_A rtefatos_de_Entrada_e_QA\FTMakro - za - QA de EFN.xlsx" O sistema não pode encontrar o caminho especificado.

Please, can you help me resolve the dispute? Thank you.

Perform two simple steps:

Save the .bat file with UTF-8 charset

Specify the charset within the .bat file using the command chcp ( Change Code Page ). For UTF-8, the code is 65001

Example

foo.bat

chcp 65001
copy "C:\ação.txt" "C:\ação3.txt"

In Windows CMD, just call the .bat normally.

C:\>foo.bat

If the CMD screen is not displaying the characters correctly, check the font type that is configured.

Right click on the top bar of the window and select "Properties". Choose a UTF-8 compatible font.

You can replace the full path to the short path for the DOS to understand.

You can use the command:

for %I in (.) do echo %~sI

Result

C: \ Users \ ADMINI ~ 1 \ Desktop

dir /x

To identify the short path of the file.

Example:

18/11/2015 15:42 13.948 ALTER_ ~ 1.ODT   alter_database_character_oracle .odt

10/02/2014 09:23 168.506 CODE ~ 1.PDF   CodigodeEticaeCondutadaLG.pdf

18/11/2015 15:42 8.095 COMAND ~ 1.SQL Oracle.sql Commands

02/08/2013 18:38 708,096 ORCAME ~ 1.DOC Budget of   Personal.doc

21/07/2015 09:33 1039 SQLTOO ~ 1.LNK SQLTools 1.7.lnk

ai just get the short path.

C: \ Users \ ADMINI ~ 1 \ Desktop \ ALTER_ ~ 1.ODT

Do not need so much bureaucracy, if you want to put a word   accentuated within a batch file, just do the following:

1 - on the desktop, hold SHIFT, right-click on an empty field, go to "Open command window   here "

2 - Type: Echo. "Keyword" > word.txt

3 - Open the file "word.txt" and have the word with the character of the   accent corrected, done this just copy the word into the   Batch it will already display the word with accent.

obs: in "Accentuated Word" put the word you want   accent, no need to have quotation marks
