cmd.exe wont run .bat files WEIRD error every first cmd only. cmds after that work.?? - xo03 - Mar 20, 2012

so when I run a .bat file the FIRST command in the file gives an error but every command after that will run just fine.

say I run the .bat file below, the first line has this "∩╗┐" added before it, so it does not run properly.

Code 
title fuckthisshit

color a

echo words

pause

BECOMES:

Code 
∩╗┐title fuckthisshit

color a

echo words

pause

what causes this and how do I fix it????

1. You need to use @echo off.
2. Why did you put ∩╗┐ there?

I had this problem when writing text to a .bat file in VB.NET, is that what you are doing? Because I know a fix.

It has to do with the formatting.
Is the .bat ascii, UTF-8, etc...?Strange symbols appear when improper char codes that are out of range appear.

Is OP writing it with Notepad? If not, try that.

* - xo03 - Mar 20, 2012

I use notepad++
its not just an issue with the .bat files I create. every time an installer or compiler program tries to run any .bat file I get that on the first line...

.

Maybe running a system restore?
Because this is very werid.

And maybe a test:
Make a .bat file on a OTHER pc and run it in this pc.

already tried that test and many many others. and I have done system restores. none of them fixed this as this has been a problem for longer that the system restores I have I guess

Well W For wumbo
M For majin.
Is it set to wumbo or not?

I would assume not as I have never heard of or seen a variable or setting anywhere for that.
