Hello,
Another call to the command line pros
Let's say I rename a file using the rename command. I designate the new name as "été".
If I perform the operation directly in a cmd window, there is no problem.
If, however, I write the same instruction in a *.bat file, the accents (or other typically French characters) disappear and my file is named "ŬtŬ"
Does anyone have the trick to recode it correctly?
Thanks in advance

I found it, you need to use an editor that saves in DOS format.
Several solutions
The simplest for those who, like me, use Notepad++ and its syntax highlighting:
Save the file normally
Reopen it with Wordpad
Save it again by choosing "MS DOS text"
