Hello,

i have a problem with a lot of files(1000+) which i have got from a friend(windows user).

The Problem is, that i'm a german and my friend has Umlauts in his filenames.

Every Umlaut is marked as " ? " in my terminal (rxvt-unicode).

After the following command there is a strange content in the file

Code:


demonking ~ $ ls -l > filelist

demonking ~ $ vim filelist

######Content######
Im <99>sterreichurlaub.jpg
<9a>ber die Oberbaumbr<81>cke.jpg
...
####End_Content#####


The realnames should be :

Quote:
Im Österreichurlaub.jpg
Über die Oberbaumbrücke.jpg


Code:

demonking ~ $ file filelist

filelist: Non-ISO extended-ASCII text


When i use stat for the filename than the umlauts are marked like this :

Code:

ü = \201
Ö = \231
Ü = \232



My Settings:

Code:

demonking ~ $ locale

LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=



Code:

demonking ~ # emerge -avp rxvt-unicode

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] x11-terms/rxvt-unicode-9.18  USE="focused-urgency font-styles mousewheel perl startup-notification vanilla xft -256-color -alt-font-width -blink -buffer-on-clear -fading-colors -iso14755 -pixbuf -secondary-wheel -unicode3 -wcwidth" 0 kB



Because of this kind of error, i'm not able to move the files.

Hope someone could help :)

Demonking,

I suspect your Windows using friend gave you a vfat or iso9660 filesystem.
When you mount these filesystems, you may use the codepage= option. codepage=850 may work.
You will need kernel support too.
Code:
  │ │    --- Native language support                                               │ │ 
  │ │    (utf8) Default NLS Option                                                 │ │ 
  │ │    <*>   Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)                                │ │ 
  │ │    < >   Codepage 737 (Greek)                                                │ │ 
  │ │    < >   Codepage 775 (Baltic Rim)                                           │ │ 
  │ │    <M>   Codepage 850 (Europe)                                               │ │ 
  │ │    < >   Codepage 852 (Central/Eastern Europe)                               │ │ 
  │ │    < >   Codepage 855 (Cyrillic)                                             │ │ 
  │ │    < >   Codepage 857 (Turkish)                                              │ │ 
  │ │    < >   Codepage 860 (Portuguese)                                           │ │
