Can't find any files - 5/31/2008 2:50:56 AM

Following is the output fron the command prompt. The windows version has no problem but the console reports this error :(

C:\>"C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey3\Scripts\Auto\a2tcons.exe" "D:\Download\MM DBs\2008-05-31_11-12-57_ImportLog.txt" /TABBED
AscToTab 4.0 - Registered version (thanks).

I'm not sure what the problem might be here.

The commonest problem is to not place filenames with spaces in them in quotes, but clearly you've done that here as the error message reproduces the name in full.

The next commonest is to mistype the filename, but I'm assuming you've double checked that.

AscToTab is quite old now, and isn't really under development anymore. Most if not all of it's functionality is now part of AscToHTM which has had more recent updates.

There have been issues in the past with long filenames etc, so it's possible that a2tcons is so old as to still suffer from some of those problems.

I can suggest a few things

- try changing to the directory first, so that you can use a local file
name in the command without including the full path i.e.

   CD "D:\Download\" 
   C:\> a2tcons.exe "2008-05-31_11-12-57_ImportLog.txt" /TABBED

- try doing the above, but use a (shorter) wildcard to select the file

     CD "D:\Download\" 
     C:\> a2tcons.exe *.txt /TABBED

- you could try downloading the trial version of the console version of AscToHTM (a2tcons) and see if it exhibits the same problem.

(Note, in the above examples I removed the full path to a2tcons.exe for clarity)

Hope this helps.

The space in the exe path name is handled by windows. That in the input filenames is handled by a2tcons.exe and it's probable that it's of an age where the software had problems with some names.

These problems are fixed in the console versions of our other products as they've all been updated much more recently.

I'm glad you got it working though.

If you like the software, don't forget to send us a postcard
