your script runs very well


BUT

I have to check when I create a folder if there are diacritical chars 
in the pathway before creating a new folder to set the directory to a 
relative pathway

then I have to know if the new futur folder has one or more 
diacriticals char

BUT


it  has an enormous advantage: it is the only script until now which 
works...!!!!!

Not easy but works however how much diacriticals chars there are in the 
pathway...


I will try to explore your script with more attention
I'll make a command from and use it anyway...
