[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42036] Files and directories with non-ASCII characters not handled correctly on Windows

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #42036 (project octave):

Workaroud to access the files in the directories with non-ASCII characters.
(for files I do not find the work around)

>From cmd prompt


subst W: (path to the directory which has non-ASCII characters)



C:UsersTatsu>subst /?
Associates a path with a drive letter.

Explanation of the subst command

SUBST [drive1: [drive2:]path]
SUBST drive1: /D

  drive1:        Specifies a virtual drive to which you want to assign a
path.
  [drive2:]path  Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
                 a virtual drive.
  /D             Deletes a substituted (virtual) drive.

Type SUBST with no parameters to display a list of current virtual drives.


For the "path" you can use UNC path so that you can access Network drive which
does not have a drive letter.

Of course, make xxx.bat file is useful.
