I am fluent in Russian and have some files on my computer that use the
Russian character set. Some programs have difficulty handling these names.
If I look at them using Windows Explorer, they show up fine. If I open a CMD
Window and issue a DIR command, the file name may look like this:
"????????.???" - in other words, the character set is not recognized.
I also write my own programs using Visual Studio.NET 2003. The programs I
write that use FindFirstFile() have the same problem as the CMD Windows -
gives me a bunch of question marks. This is all under XP Pro and NTFS.
Searching the web, MSDN, and programming sites has not given me a clue as to
how to fix this. Apparently, "professional programmers" with companies such
as Veritas have had the same problem, since Veritas Backup had the same
difficulty with Russian filenames and would skip backing them up!
This is not a programming support site, but I hope that some of you may be
in an environment other than English and have had some experience with this.
I can use some help here. Thank you.
