save this as a .bat
put that 7z file back in the other folder
run this new .bat and see if it moves it

I get the problem: Móvil (ó).

I'm reading about how to get a solution, but I can't dedicate time now.

Thanks to all.

(also - not sure as i dont have the same language keyboard as you, but possibly take the ó in Móvil and change it to o to avoid any character issues/conflicts?)

^ you referring to what i said on page 1?

The batch file fails, simply because there's a missing call to Code Page before using Spanish (or non-English) characters. Like ó.

Before W10 1903, Notepad defaulted to saving text in ANSI encoding format. Later Notepad editions switched to UTF-8. If you're writing UTF-8 files, then you need to first call "chcp 65001" in any CMD scripts that reference Spanish characters.

Correct batch file (saved in UTF-8 encoding):
Code: 
chcp 65001 > nul
dir /b "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada"
dir /b "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada\000 Móvil\Vídeos"

move /y "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada\000 Móvil\Vídeos\*.*" "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada\Videos"

Running the same script, first without chcp and then after with chcp:

1738561407536.webp

Let's re-confirm our experiment, by switching to ANSI format.

Same batch file (except saved in ANSI). ANSI requires using "chcp 1252".
Code: 
chcp 1252 > nul
dir /b "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada"
dir /b "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada\000 Móvil\Vídeos"

move /y "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada\000 Móvil\Vídeos\*.*" "C:\Users\GARLIN\Downloads\DIEGO\Bandeja de entrada\Videos"

PowerShell probably handles this pathname encoding better (especially if using -LiteralPath) than the DOS-era copy and move commands.

I'm sure @LesFerch has a better explanation for how the wrong Code Page breaks all sorts of code.

Hi guys.

I already have the solution.

In the end the whole problem was the accents.

To do this, I have done two things, which I leave here in case someone could help you:

1. First, save the txt with ANSI (Unicode) encoding.

2. Then, open an MS-Dos window (CMD) and write the following:

Phrase or word with accents > Conf.txt

For example, Arándanos > Conf.txt

3. From the previous step we will obtain a txt with the word or phrase with the accents converted.

4. Copy to our txt to finish the code.

5. Save the txt as a bat file and the problem is solved.

Thanks to all.
