batch command line don't support accent and french characters???

hi,

I have this command line in a batch file
for %%f in (*.doc) do echo %%f >> list.txt

this simply fill the list.txt file with all word document in the folder
the command works fine, but accent characters are miss encoded:

the list.txt file contain:
Ceci est un document ,.doc

instead of
Ceci est un document é.doc

the é is changed to , (or other strange character)

A simple command like this produce the same result:
dir /b *.doc > list2.txt

what can I do?

thanks.

Jerome.

 

It sounds like it has something to do with ASCII vs Unicode fonts. How are
you viewing the list.txt file? Does it show the same contents when you
open it in Notepad as it does when you "type list.txt" at the command line?

 

I open it using notepad.

French characters directly typed in the command line are good.
like:
echo éàéé > list.txt
produce a file with the same characters.
but "dynamic" strings like the file name produce wrong characters.
