rtf2lrf shows IOError: [Errno 2] if special characters in filename

[xixix]

Dear All,
tried to search forums but no trace of this error or similar

C:\My Documents\My eBooks>cvt.bat
Processing Agatha Christie - C'Era Una Volta....rtf
Processing Agatha Christie - C'E Un Cadavere In Biblioteca.rtf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "convert_from.py", line 207, in <module>
  File "convert_from.py", line 120, in main
  File "convert_from.py", line 82, in process_file
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: "C:\\My Documents\\My eBooks\\Agatha Christie - C'E Un Cadavere In Biblioteca.rtf"

C:\My Documents\My eBooks>

CVT.BAT file is:

@echo off
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%a IN ('dir /b "*.rtf"') DO (
  echo Processing %%a
  echo %%a | sed -e "s/\(.*\) - \(.*\)\.[rR][tT][fF]/\"C:\\Program Files\\libprs500\\rtf2lrf\" -a \"\1\" -t \"\2\" --category=Brivido --encoding=utf-8 --base-font-size=8 \"%%a\">NUL/" > tmp_.bat
  call tmp_.bat
  pause
  del tmp_.bat >NUL
)

Offending Filename from explorer is:

Agatha Christie - C'È Un Cadavere In Biblioteca.rtf

Anyone has tips on this?

Thanks,
Xixix.

Still ?!

But do you really need to bulk convert 1000 eBooks at one time? Can you actually read them fast enough that you need them all NOW?

Dude ... you here for:

[ ] Questioning about reasons for bulk converting?
[ ] Supporting?

Place "X" mark where needed; no multiple choices allowed!
Only one answer is the right one ... others are OT ... you choose!

This works for me. Probably a result of having a non-standard windows file-system encoding, though I realy don't know enough about windows to say more.

My recommendation is that you not even bother trying to convert these files. RTF displays as well as (sometimes better than) LRF on the Reader. Why create a problem when none existed before?

Reason to convert is that size ratio RTF/LRF = 3/1 on average.

Thank you all for perspectives and support.
