Subtract images in batch process(leap year and regular year)

[Geek-9pm]

How did you launch this batch file?
I often see people pasting batch code into the cmd prompt these days - it makes me weep.
Is gdal_calculate a batch file too?

It is a Python  script.

I think what Foxidrive is inferring is that you can't name the batch file the same as the gdal_calculate command.

I wasn't very clear, sorry.

This error message from unknown's post is something that may be related to pasting batch code into a cmd prompt.

Invalid attempt to call batch label outside of batch script.

It is a Python  script.

Thanks, that clarifies that it's not part of that problem.

Pasted it into an editor and then saved it as sample.bat in the desktop and call the bat file there from the cmd prompt or sometimes from the windows powershell. Is batch strict with white spaces? Is that why I'm getting this error?

I predict 6 pages for this Topic...

Getting closer!

Batch code handles white space well in most of it, but not well at all in other places.

Did you ever say where the files were located?  Are they on your desktop?

The fact that you add powershell into this thread (for the first time AFAIK) just insults everyone who has replied,
because you are doing things that you haven't revealed.

If you had to pay for this support then the person getting your munny would need to know every single detail about the files, locations, hard drives or network drives, how they were processed, have copies of the files to test, and know how they were being launched.

They would need access to the machine involved, or a copy of the data trees.

Here we only know what you choose to tell us - and without the information it's like baking a pie with no recipe.

I did get a bit annoyed, didn't I?

It's all good...

[Squashman]

Here is what I propose.
1) Tell us where to download the software you use and tell us how to install and configure it.
2) Post a full compliment of test files that will handle every scenario on dropbox for us to test with.
3) Explain in exact detail what folder you have your input files in.
4) Explain in exact detail what folder the output files need to go into.
5) Explain in exact detail what folder the processed files need to go into.
6) Explain in exact detail how the program works for processing just a single file. Use one of the test files you provided as an example.
7) Explain in exact detail what your expected output should be based on the test files you have provided us.

If anyone else feels I have left anything out for this testing scenario please add to the list.

I just answered based from what I understand in your question. Guessed I didn't get it. Sorry for insulting you I'm just getting a hard time understanding this. I'm really slow in understanding things.

How did you launch this batch file?

That's why powershell was added. Because every time I run, call or launch a batch file I can used either cmd prompt or windows powershell right? I saved the bat file to the desktop.

You said:

That is why I asked if the batch processing is strict with the white spaces. Because I got that "Invalid attempt to call batch label outside of batch script." And thought of maybe the pasting did that and white spaces has something to do with it.

Thanks squashman for this proposal but that would be too much. Honestly, I really want to learn. I want to help myself. I want to be like you here. Creating codes for you was that simple. I want to figure out what was the error, what should I do but I really just can't do it  maybe I'm just really dumb.

This is untested - it displays the command to the screen only.

It is right then you can thank Squashman for supplying the meat of the batch file on the 3rd post in this thread.

Yes. The code only displays the command to the screen only. Which says the file matches with this file. But never executed the calculation.

We have basically spoon fed you basically everything.  I am not sure how you are learning. I am sure you have heard the saying, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

[Squashman]

Correct.  And since you said you wanted to learn, tell me why it did not execute the command and only displayed it on the screen.

Yeah I've heard that saying. Thank you!

Yes I really want to. Maybe because it's missing some command?A command which will make it execute? And it just call the ordinal date and echoed that is why it was displayed only on the screen.
