Command line?

[vmiceli]

Hello and thanks for the great software that DatCon is. If I wanted to automate file conversions with a script, can I use DatCon from command line?

Thanks!

+1 @BudWalkerJava Is this doable? I've been trying to figure out how to call the DatConvert functionality on a DatFile from command line or via bash script with no success

Not currently. But, you could easily modify the code to create a command line app.

@BudWalkerJava I have a lot of work to do before this is an easy task for me lol but with work, I'll get there. Do you know where I might start in learning to tackle this type of problem? I'm having trouble understanding how you are getting the filename from 'file being used' and then actually executing the conversion. Ideally, I'd like to be able to iterate through a directory of .dat files by passing the directory as an argument from the command line.

Thank you all so much for your hard work in providing everyone with this great software. It's been a huge help and has saved so much time!

The currently committed github version (3.5.0) has a lot of java compile errors (many because of lines commented out in AxesAndSigs.java, for example). Is it possible to have a code version that compiles, or actually, the code version that actually produced the current DatCon? It's hard to make assumptions and just uncomment lines, and so on.

How can we message Rowland Johnson? Is it possible?

Try it now, I just updated the source.

I'd also like to convert a larger amount of data from the command line. Has anyone changed the program in this respect?

[yvonperr]

@jothanna, I did some work with DatCon for my then company a few months ago. It works well for us, so I need to contribute my code back to the project. If you can send me your preferred email address, I will send you an email explaining my modified jar file and source code, which will be attached — Yvon Perreault

Unfortunately, icloud won’t let me include any jar file or zip file. Researching…

I agree... A command line option would be great, specially to be able to batch process files.
Also an option for batch processing inside the gui could be helpful.

Any progress on this front?

@yvonperr are you still able to share your code?

Munsanje, Can you provide your email address at yvon.at.mac.com? I will share like I did with #jothanna.
