copied!<p>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.</p> <p>Here is the command I am using:</p> <pre><code>tree /f /a > output.txt </code></pre> <p>The results in the console window are fine:</p> <pre> \---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 </pre> <p>But the text file is no good:</p> <pre> \---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 </pre> <p>How can I fix this? Ideally the text file would be exactly the same as the output in the console window.</p> <p>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.</p>
