shp renaming based a list while keeping swedish letters in attribute


Hi,

I have a folder with 60 shapefiles, they need to be renamed based on a list.

I tired file copy with AttributeValueMapper , but it dosenot keep the special letter in swedish ("ö","ä","å") in the shp attribute.

I donot understand why when I use copy file it will change the shp attribute.

Is there any good solutions

Hi @bonbon, I don't think the File Copy writer changes contents of files. A possible reason I can think of is that the source Shapefile files contain code page files (*.cpg) but they have not been copied into the destination folder. Isn't it such a situation?
