Hi, When i pass a file or a file that belongs to a path that has one of its folders names containing an accented character to GetFileDate(), i get a Library function error (return value == -1). For example all files within the folder 'Eéprom' return an error. Can anyone please offer some help on how i resolve this issue? Thank you! (LabWindowsCVI 9.0 / Windows 2000 / CVIRTE2009)

You would basically only need to add an extra printing line to your function that creates the BAT file. Similar to this: fprintf(bat_file, "@echo off\n"); fprintf(bat_file, "chcp 1252\n");fprintf(bat_file, "dir /s /b /a-D \"%s\\*.*\" > \"%s\"\n", directory, TxtFile); This should set the code page of the console in which your BAT file is running, so that the dir command will be able to output the accents correctly.
