The last part of a job I am doing is to rename over 8000 files based on their key value in a data migration exercise...
All seemed easy as I had both peices of info and therefore created a batch file to do the renaming for me......or so I thought. It seems that accented characters cause the batch file to basically fail. here is a small part of my batch file: Copy "1093_USASECasset-backMay04.pdf" ..\renamed\6000371.pdf Copy "1094_Communiqué de presse émission Tier 1 mai 2004 Agence Française de Développement en français(v1).DOC" ..\renamed\6000372.DOC Copy "1095_Communiqué de presse livre FEP -Corporate Governance avril 2004(v5).DOC" ..\renamed\6000373.DOC Copy "10lux21nov05.pdf" ..\renamed\1000580.pdf Copy "1100_Communiqué de presse nomination nouveaux counsel mai 2004(v1).DOC" ..\renamed\6000375.DOC Copy "1101_Communiqué de presse Arrivée de Corinne Perdrix en français - mai 2004(v3).DOC" ..\renamed\6000376.DOC Copy "1102_Communiqué de presse pour le Real Estate Standard Life Gecina 1er juin 2004 portefeuille immobilier(v5).DOC" ..\renamed\6000377.DOC Copy "1103_communiqué de presse cession AvantSeine fait avec Gide - juin 2004(v2).DOC" ..\renamed\6000378.DOC The first command will complete fine, the rest all say "File not found". Now here is the real odd bit.......If I run the following from cmd prompt it completes successfully: Copy "1095_Communiqué de presse livre FEP -Corporate Governance avril 2004(v5).DOC" ..\renamed\6000373.DOC Why will it work when run from cmd prompt but not from a batch file that has been called from the cmd prompt?
