I need to send this string from Python app to command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit
PhantomPDF\FoxitPhantomPDF.exe" "C:\SPC\Pdf_SPC\file.pdf"
when I copy it directly to command line, it works, when I send it:
os.startfile("C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PhantomPDF\FoxitPhantomPDF.exe" "C:\SPC\Pdf_SPC\file.pdf")
it doesn't work
but this works:
os.startfile("C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PhantomPDF\FoxitPhantomPDF.exe")
Can somebody help me?
Thanks

I heard there was a way to convert an ISF file to PCAP using QCAT by command line but I've not found a way to do so with anything I've read or searched for on the internet.
Anyone know of how to perform this action?
Thanks
From a short Qualcomm slide show:
QCAT runs cmd line to generate the PCAP/TXT. Customer can run cmd line option to generate PCAP/TXT
Executable: C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QCAT 6.x\Bin\PCAP Generator.exe Usage: PCAP Generator.exe [input_file] [output_path] [-option]
This command converts a file or directory of .qmdl files into a single .hdf file. The .hdf file will be named the same as the original log file or the directory of the input but with a .hdf extension.
QCAT –hdf file
or
QCAT –hdf directory
I am working on a workflow where I need to be able to batch convert CSV files into DBF files. The data in the CSV files can all be output as TEXT fields and then saved as a DBF. I have tried to get any output possible using the command line in both Mac OS and Windows 7. While I was a little more successful in Windows, I was not able to get any conversion.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program\scalc.exe" --convert-to dbf --
infilter="csv:44,34,76,1,1/2/2/2/3/2/4/2/5/2/6/2/7/2/8/2/9/2/10/2/11/2/12/2/13/2/14/2/15/2/16/2/17/2/18/2/19/2/20/2/21/2/22/2/23/2/24/2/25/2/26/2/27/2/28/2/29/2/30/2/31/2/32/2
/33/2/34/2/35/2/36/2/37/2/38/2/39/2/40/2/41/2/42/2/43/2/44/2/45/2/46/2/47/2/48/2/49/2/50/2/51/2/52/2/53/2/54/2/55/2/56/2/57/2/58/2/59/2/60/2/61/2/62/2/63/2/64/2/65/2/66/2/67/2
/68/2/69/2/70/2/71/2,0,false,false" C:\Users\jdavidson\Desktop\DBFCONVERT\*.csv --outdir C:\Users\jdavidson\desktop\complete
So, I needed to have an --infilter on the command line to be able to do the conversion, but now it will only process 1 file and not batch file when using *.csv So, my next hurdle is to get over that.
The below helps to explain --infilters in more detail:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options#Filter_Options_for_Lotus.2C_dBase_and_DIF_Filters
Any easier way to find the filter sequence you need is by following the below listed steps:
Open the CSV Manually using LibreOffice and Specify Every Detail in the import Wizard
Run the below macro and it will show you the filter options in an input box, so you can copy the string in to your own code
Sub showFilterOptions
Dim args(),i%
args() = thisComponent.getArgs
for i = 0 to uBound(Args())
if args(i).Name = "FilterOptions" then inputbox "","",args(i).value
next
End Sub

The parameters need to be reversed. From https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/2641/convert-to-command-line-parameter/:
soffice --headless --convert-to <TargetFileExtension>:<NameOfFilter> file_to_convert.xxx
Using the old windows command prompt:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program\scalc.exe" --headless --convert-to dbf C:\Users\jdavidson\Desktop\DBFCONVERT\test.csv
This will create test.dbf in the current directory, which is perhaps C:\Users\jdavidson or, if running as administrator, C:\Windows\system32. To print the working directory, enter pwd, and then dir to see the file.
In powershell, add "& " in front to execute LibreOffice. Then enter gci or ls to see the file.
Be sure that a LibreOffice process is not already running in the background.
I was able to get this to work using the below code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program\scalc.exe" --convert-to DBF --infilter="csv:44,34,76,1,1/2/2/2/3/2/4/2/5/2/6/2/7/2/8/2/9/2/10/2/11/2/12/2/13/2/14/2/15/2/16/2/17/2/18/2/19/2/20/2/21/2/22/2/23/2/24/2/25/2/26/2/27/2/28/2/29/2/30/2/31/2/32/2/33/2/34/2/35/2/36/2/37/2/38/2/39/2/40/2/41/2/42/2/43/2/44/2/45/2/46/2/47/2/48/2/49/2/50/2/51/2/52/2/53/2/54/2/55/2/56/2/57/2/58/2/59/2/60/2/61/2/62/2/63/2/64/2/65/2/66/2/67/2/68/2/69/2/70/2/71/2/72/2/73/2/74/2/75/2/76/2/77/2/78/2/79/2/80/2/81/2/82/2/83/2/84/2/85/2/86/2/87/2/88/2/89/2/90/2/91/2/92/2/93/2/94/2/95/2/96/2/97/2/98/2/99/2/100/2/101/2/102/2/103/2/104/2/105/2/106/2/107/2/108/2/109/2/110/2/111/2/112/2/113/2/114/2/115/2/116/2/117/2/118/2/119/2/120/2/121/2/122/2/123/2/124/2/125/2/126/2/127/2/128/2/129/2/130/2/131/2/132/2/133/2/134/2/135/2/136/2,0,false,false" C:\Users\jdavidson\Desktop\DBFCONVERT\57826001_JQSAMPLE.csv --outdir C:\Users\jdavidson\desktop\complete
Please note, that I needed to use DBF and include an --infilter parameter field
There are two websites in my original posting that shows helpful scripts and infilter information to help other users
I am doing a batch scripting assignment where I have to call one script from inside another. I need the script to run the second script no matter where my lecturer saves these scripts. How would I do this. Is there some way to find the path of script inside the script and use that to execute the file. Any help would be great. I think I need to use %'s but i'm not sure.
The name of the script is Hello World.bat.
How would I copy Hello World.bat to the C:\ if I don't know which directory the lecturer has placed it in. what command/s would I use so that the copy would work regardless of the scripts location.
I don't see the "DOS" tag, but I'll assume that it is for now. If you want the entire path, you can get it by doing this:
echo %cd%
If you want just the last folder, this works (inside a .bat file):
for %%* in (.) do #echo %%~n*
Note that from the command line, the above command will work with single %'s:
for %* in (.) do #echo %~n*
If the script you are executing is calling other scripts in the SAME folder location, you can prefix the path statement with "%~dp0" or "%~dps0" but do not put a backslash between that and the name of the script you are calling. In other words, if script1.bat is calling script2.bat in the same folder, the statement in script1.bat would refer to "%~dp0script2.bat"
sorry about batch files, am not familiar, but in nix shell, there is the locate command which can return the path of the file , if you know the filename exactly and the name is unique.
like
name=$(locate filname)
I am calling a FTP file from DOS, which holds ftp set of commands as follows:
ftp -s:ftpcmd1.txt
Now, the change requirement says, file is to be called multiple times with different file paths.
so, I need to write above statement, each time passing new file path as argument with FTP filename and writing something like "%1" in command inside ftp-file. Please help me with same. How do I do it.
Thanks.
I dont know if we can pass parameter to ftp script (atleast in DOS). But in the above case dynamically written out ftp script file would help. Small bat file which would do that is like below.
echo "user username pwd">ftpcmd1.txt
echo "bin">>ftpcmd1.txt
echo "put %1">>ftpcmd1.txt
echo "bye">>ftpcmd1.txt
ftp -n -i -v servername<ftpcmd1.txt
If you call this bat file with any file name as the first command line argument, it would transfer the file to target servername. Hope this is what you are looking for.
i have a perl script that is used in updating my awstats logs of my website. The script works fine if i just paste it in cmd (Windows) but the moment i paste it in a batch file, it messes up the format of the files generated (they should be prepended with current date/time). The code is:
perl C:\PROGRA~2\AWStats\tools\awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -config=mywebsite -update -awstatsprog=C:\PROGRA~2\AWStats\wwwroot\cgi-bin\awstats.pl -dir=C:\myfolder\stats\reports -builddate=%YYYY%MM -buildpdf=C:\PROGRA~2\HTMLDOC\ghtmldoc.exe -staticlinksext=asp`
The resulting files generated is mysite.201008.asp if i paste it in cmd and execute BUT In a batch file with the same script, my resulting file is mysite.MM.asp.
Any idea why this is happening?
The problem is caused by %YYYY%MM.
"%" is a special symbol in batch files. You need to escape it by doubling it: %%YYYY%%MM.
It appears you have to escape the '%' characters.
The command shell doing variable substitution on %YYYY% which I'm guessing is not defined in your environment, so it substitutes the empty string for that "variable".
Unfortunately, there are no opaque quotes in the Windows shell.
