I am using VSCode editor for Powershell scripts. And I have the problem with paths, which contains cyrillic characters. For example code:
$users = 'C:\Users\Тестовый пользователь\Documents\userlist.csv'
foreach ($user in $users) {
$u = Get-Content -LiteralPath $users
Write-Host "Пользователь:" $u
}
return the error:
Cannot find path 'C:\Users\Ниармедк\Documents\userlist.csv"' because it does not exist.
If you don't specify the encoding with a BOM, Powershell will read the file with its default encoding (mostly ASCII): Understanding default encoding and Change the same in PowerShell
VS Code doesn't set a bom in its default configuration. To avoid this problem in further PowerShell scripts, add these options in your VS Code settings:
{
"[powershell]": {
"files.encoding": "utf8bom",
"files.autoGuessEncoding": true
},
}
Alternatively you could also change your powershell default encoding ofc.
