QCAT ISF to PCAP

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

Batch file to archive important files into a zip file in Windows 7

I have some files which I would like to be able to archive daily into a zip file that has the date in the filename.
The files to be archived are in one folder, let's call them a, b and c.
I would like them to be zipped into a file with the name archiveYYYYMMDD.zip into a second (different) folder where YYYYMMDD is the current date. I'm struggling to come up with a suitable batch file.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. I have a scheduling program which would run the batch file at a preset time every day.
Thanks
Alan
This can be done with shareware archiver WinRAR with a single command line:
"%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" a -afzip -agYYYYMMDD -cfg- -ed -ep1 -ibck -inul -m5 -r -y -- "Path to Backup Folder\Backup_.zip" "Path to Folder to Backup\"
This single command line can be executed directly as scheduled task. There is no need for a batch file.
The help of WinRAR opened by starting WinRAR and clicking in menu Help on menu item Help topics explains under Contents menu item Command line mode the command line syntax, the command a and the used switches.

LibreOffice Command Line Convert CSV to DBF

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

Can we give two files as input while using JasperStarter

I am using JasperStarter to create pdf from several jrprint files and then print it using JasperStarter functtions.
I want to create one single pdf file with all the .jrprint files.
If I give command like:
jasperstarter pr a.jprint b.jprint -f pdf -o rep
It does not recognise the files after the first input file.
Can we create one single output file with many input jasper/jrprint files?
Please help.
Thanks,
Oshin
Looking at the documentation, this is not possible:
The command process (pr)
The command process is for processing a report.
In direct comparison to the command for compiling:
The command compile (cp)
The command compile is for compiling one report or all reports in a directory.
