Well, show us your code and the exact problem you ran into.

n = os.tmpname ()
os.execute ("chcp 437")
os.execute ("tasklist > " .. n)
for line in io.lines (n) do
text[#text+1]=line
print(line)
end
end
os.remove(n)

I need some systeminfo. I have trubles with numbers that cmd.exe returns, for exemple: 2xFF048 KB (you can see it when set encoding on notepad to utf-8 without BOM).
if i run something like os.execute("help >"..n), no errors and normal text.
Really dont know what to do...
