Hi,
I recently asked a different question that was answered, but not fully.
I'm wondering how to use Aluigi's extractors that run from the Command Prompt. So, I've successfully typed:
'C:\Extractors\Vital\Vitalext.ext' to launch the extractor. Then I get 'Usage: (Directory\Vitalext) <name.grp> <output_folder>' or something like that. So I type '<C:\Games\Outbreak\main.grp> <C:\Extractors\Extracted\Outbreak>' and I get 'Unexpected usage of<' or something like that.
May I have some help on how to use this program, or these extractors in general, thanks!

Just don't use square brackets there.
EDIT: D'oh.... angle brackets

Aluigi's Vitalext not completely done. And that BMS-script do same.
And why you still want to use the vitalext instead of official gfbuild.exe extractor by Deep Shadows, authors of VitalEngine?
Not vitalext, not BMS script, even gfbuild.exe not packing files back to *.grp archives. Because engine have protection. And at all, packing back to GRP not necessery, because engine can work with extracted files without any grp's.

Hi, I was unaware that an official one had been made - I might check that out! Now, I have unpacked the grp successfully, what do I do once I have made the changes and want to repack it? You say that it's not necessary, so do I do something similar to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, where this time I need to create a folder called 'main' in the game directory, and copy the contents of my unpacked 'grp' into, or is there a different way of doing this.

Just unpack grp files to folders, where they store.
