(solution) Batch script doesn't work [Windows]

[deton24]

Haven't used the tool for a long time, and it simply didn't work for me recently.
I found out in Windows that in batch script "python" shouldn't be put before Ray2get.
The script won't work at all using "& python ray2get.py" but only "ray2get" will work.

Exemplary script for converting all APM files to WAV
(of course for Rayman 2 go to Data\World\Sound and save it in notepad as convert.bat (file type: all files) and place Ray2Get nearby):

@echo off
echo Starting conversion...
for %%f in (*.apm) do echo "%%f" & ray2get.py di "%%f"
echo Converted.
@echo on
pause

Script for converting all WAV files to APM

@echo off
echo Starting conversion...
for %%f in (*.wav) do echo "%%f" & ray2get.py ei "%%f"
echo Converted.
@echo on
pause

If the above doesn't work, Garo sent me these (he still couldn't make the above work):

For converting .apm to wav:

@echo off
echo Starting conversion...
for %%f in (*.apm) do echo "%%f" & python3 ray2get.py di "%%f"
echo Converted.
@echo on
pause`

For converting wav to apm:

@echo off
echo Starting conversion...
for %%f in (*.wav) do echo "%%f" & python3 ray2get.py ei "%%f"
echo Converted.
@echo on
pause

What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? What errors do you get?

Hi Synthesis! Been a long time.

Here's what he got:

And he opened separate topic here, and got some explanations already:

I mean... in the README.md file displayed on the main repo page, I literally give this line in the .bat example:
for %%f in (*.[EXT]) do echo "%%f" & python ray2get.py [options] "%%f"

I'm afraid the problem is not on my end if someone's confusing a Python script with an executable...

[deton24]

I wonder if it has something with adding environment values during Python installation and why the script from the first post worked for me.

[Synthesis]

No idea why the script in your first post worked at all, nor where you found it...
Cause at no point in the readme.md did I ever give any example without the python command.

[deton24]

One thing that actually my script from the first post lacks, is python command. Maybe only that was it, and I had only made a mistake not leaving .py during pasting the code for some reason (e.g. from a wrong file).

Also, the script he pasted as working has python3 instead of python.

Maybe we both had some problems using simply python as you suggested in the readme and we simply workarounded it in two different ways.

Something was really going on, because I even used old 1.0 version for some time till I found the solution.

No doubt, without .py the system CMD would probably treat ray2get like .exe, and it shouldn't have had worked like that (probably even with python command). It's illogical and I'll simply edit it now.
