I also tried to convert it with "WinCPToUTF8", but the result is still wrong.

I had forgotten to write this information:
Lazarus 1.9.0 r57219 FPC 3.0.2 i386-win32-win32/win64


Hi, Mario

Console can also be in OEM encoding. But the in time TProcess must be redone using -W functions.

For Italian filenames this should do the trick:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Memo1.Lines.LoadFromStream(OutputStream);
2. Memo1.Lines.Text := ConvertEncoding(Memo1.Lines.Text, GetConsoleTextEncoding, EncodingUTF8); //add this line
3. OutputStream.Free;

It work fine !!!

Thanks, Mario
