Why Doesn't This Batch File Work?

[foxidrive]

In the script that you so kindly wrote for me, the batch file and rawcomp have to be copied to temp\

Not at all.  The batch file can be launched from anywhere.

Change rawcomp to "c:\bin\rawcomp.exe" or where you have it located and then it will work from anywhere.



The folowing should solve the decompression - test it on sample-folders-and-files that are in a different folder.  Change the c:\temp

BTW, is d* the correct syntax for decompression?


EDITED: to handle the dNUMBER compression value.  Be sure to change c:\temp everywhere to the folder you are using.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
pushd "c:\temp" || (echo aborting - the folder doesn't exist & pause & goto :EOF)
if exist *.huf (echo Why are there *.huf files in the main folder? & pause & goto :EOF)
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir *.huf /b /s /a-d ') do (
   echo Working with "%%a"
      for %%b in ("%%~dpa\.") do (
          if exist  "%%~dpa\%%~na.rif" ("c:\bin\rawcomp.exe" d%%~nb "%%a" "%%~dpa\%%~na.rif" "%%~nb.raw" & rd /s /q "%%~dpa")
      )
)
popd
pause

No, by d* I meant that the * is the filename of the rif/hup file. So in the following example:

Code: [Select]

8.hup
the syntax would be

Code: [Select]

rawcomp d8 ...
I apologize for not making that part clear.

Also, thanks for the note about the original script.

See my edited post above.  Test it as shown and see how it goes.

If you use cygwin then the DLL will need to be on the path, I think.

Works great!

Thank so very much for all your help.
