Hi,
when i navigate to the folder with the source file and manually
execute the following command it works:
sox threebursts.wav temp_outfile.wav silence 1 0.1 1 : newfile :
restart
but if I craete a batch file which takes teh file as argument, it doent
work:
sox "%~1" temp_outfile.wav silence 1 0.1 1% 1 0.1 1% : newfile :
restart
it results into :
sox "C:\Users\hom\Downloads\Desktop\New folder (3)\threebursts.wav"
temp_outfile.wav silence 1 0.1 1 : newfile : restart
Any idea why that do not work please?
A % sign has special meaning in bat files. Look - you used "%~1" - and
expected that
to be replaced by a parameter. Well, further along the command the
other % chars
caused a problem.
You need to use %% where you want a single one. See: "Quoting and
escaping" at:
