I'm trying to use the tree command in a windows commandline to generate a text file listing the contents of a directory but when I pipe the output the unicode characters get stuffed up.
Here is the command I am using:
tree /f /a > output.txt
The results in the console window are fine:
\---Erika szobája
cover.jpg
Erika szobája.m3u
Kátai Tamás - 01 Télvíz.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 02 Zölderdõ.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 03 Renoir kertje.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 04 Esõben szaladtál.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 05 Ázik az út.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 06 Sûrû völgyek takaród.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 07 Õszhozó.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 08 Mécsvilág.ogg
Kátai Tamás - 09 Zúzmara.ogg
But the text file is no good:
\---Erika szob ja
cover.jpg
Erika szob ja.m3u
K tai Tam s - 01 T‚lv¡z.ogg
K tai Tam s - 02 Z”lderdä.ogg
K tai Tam s - 03 Renoir kertje.ogg
K tai Tam s - 04 Esäben szaladt l.ogg
K tai Tam s - 05 µzik az £t.ogg
K tai Tam s - 06 S–r– v”lgyek takar¢d.ogg
K tai Tam s - 07 åszhoz¢.ogg
K tai Tam s - 08 M‚csvil g.ogg
K tai Tam s - 09 Z£zmara.ogg
How can I fix this? Ideally the text file would be exactly the same as the output in the console window.
I tried Chris Jester-Young's suggestion (what happened, did you delete it Chris?) of running the command line with the /U switch, it looked like exactly what I needed but it does not appear to work. I have tried opening the file in both VS2008 and notepad and both show the same incorrect characters.
Have someone already tried this:
tree /f /a |clip
Open notepad, ctrl + V, save in notepad as output.txt with unicode support?
