Error: wrong command-line argument

[ekvirjd]

Hello.

quickbms -o "scriptNX.bms" "../IPK\extracted\%songcode%\cache\itf_cooked\nx\world\maps\%songcode%\timeline\pictos\*.ckd" "..\temp".

Why it doesn't work?

You can't use the * wildcard because the arguments must be 3: script, file/folder, output folder
With the wildcard they become: script, file1, file2, ..., fileN, output folder
Additionally the * char is interpreted by Windows EVEN when it's used in quotes creating a huge mess.

Use the -F filter for doing the job:

Code: Select all

quickbms -F "{}.ckd" -o "scriptNX.bms" "../IPK\extracted\%songcode%\cache\itf_cooked\nx\world\maps\%songcode%\timeline\pictos" "..\temp"

Let me know if it works now

Thank you! It works.

Ah, something that I think may be interesting, quickbms already implements the automatic handling of the wildcard characters.
In short if you replaced * with {} in your original command-line it would magically work

Yes, it works with * too, but Windows intercepts it before.
