Using special characters when renaming file

[keneo]

I am trying to rename files in a batch.
But I want to use special characters in the file name like these ==> ♥♦♣♠
(ascii code 3,4,5 and 6)
Is there a way to insert these into a file name using batch commands?
Perhaps using a function that translates ascii code to a character?

special characters and symbols would need the help of a 3rd party app just google around and should be something out there to help u ..

Hello keneo,

you can use chr.bat to build a file with ascii-characters (in hexformat)

call chr.bat 41
creates a chr.tmp file with one "B"

Code: Select all

@ECHO  off
setlocal 

(
  echo a100
  echo db %~1
  echo.
  echo rcx
  echo 1
  echo w
  echo q
) | debug chr.tmp > NUL
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in (chr.tmp) do set chr=%%l

echo %chr%

hope it is useful
