Hey i have this problem, i use this script to update my iTunes music catalogue ... "%PROGRAMFILES%\iTunes Library Updater\ITLUconsole.exe" /a /l /r "K:\Media\Søren\Musik" but when i run it is cant read the "ø" so it says invalid location... and i cant move the folder, because i got to many files and too many programs depending on it...

Extended characters are a bit of a problem in batch. There are two main ways to achieve what you want to do, either change the code page or find the character that is used for your characters alias. Changing the code page is probably the easiest, here is something that may work: for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('2^>nul chcp') do set cp=%%a >nul 2>&1 chcp 1252 "%PROGRAMFILES%\iTunes Library Updater\ITLUconsole.exe" /a /l /r "K:\Media\Søren\Musik" >nul 2>&1 chcp%cp% It first sets the current code page number to %cp% changes to codepage 1252, which can handle the character then executes you command then restores the original code page to avoid other problems. The other way would be to use a "alias" character specific to your code page. copy the character in question. Start>run>cmd type in "echo " right click>paste now type in ">filename.txt" and hit enter (it should now look like "echo ø>filename.txt") type in "start notepad filename.txt" copy the character from notepad and use it in place of the character in question within the script. Either method should have levels of success.
