I am trying to get a batch file to work. Whenever I attempt to run a .bat the command line returns '■m' is not recognized... error, where "m" is the first letter of the file. For example:
md c:\\testsource md c:\\testbackup
Returns
C:>"C:\\Users\\Michael\\Dropbox\\Documents\\Research\\Media\\Method Guide\\Program\\test .bat"
C:>■m '■m' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Things I have tried:
Thanks
What text editor are you writing this in? It seems like your text editor may save the file as UTF-16 encoded text, which cmd.exe
can't handle. Try setting the "coding"/"file encoding" to "ANSI" when saving the file.
This results in the first byte being a byte-order-mark (telling other editors how to process the file), and cmd.exe
can't deal with this.
In addition to the approved answer I would add the case where is a PowerShell command the one that creates the file... PowerShell comes by default with the UTF-16 encoding.
To solve your problem then, force the file encoding lie this: | out-file foo.txt -encoding utf8
| out-file foo.txt -encoding utf8
In windows 10 I had the same issue. Changing the character set to UTF-8 made it worse. It worked correctly when I selected Encoding as UTF-8-NO BOM.
