block character renders my batch files useless
Posted: 27 Feb 2009 14:02
hey, new to the forums, just discovered them now, looks useful 
so i ran into a weird problem today, i cant run batch files on this computer..really weird...
this is a little strange to me and i can't think of why this is happening...
let's say i have a simple bat file called test.bat
these are the contents
------------------------------
@echo off
echo testing...
pause
------------------------------
simple enough, eh?
when i go to run this bat, this is the output:
C:\>■@
'■@' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
it seems every bat i make on this machine is being preempted by the block character which renders bat files useless...
any ideas? i'm out
thanks a lot!
