Folders with accented characters

[andrerfmartins]

My username is André and Octave canŽt show anything past the user folder. I know the problem is in the accent because in CLI I get this:
error: C:/Users/Andr├®: No such file or directory
error: parse error

Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance!

You don't say where in octave you are getting the problem but I'm
guessing you want to set the directory in the Octave GUI. To do this
you will need to resort to the old 8.3 filenames. These are created
for names containing non-US ASCII characters as well as for long
names.

Use
dir /x
to find the 8.3 name, cd to that, and it will work.

Cheers... Ian
