Hi,

I am desperately trying to get your great tool to work with wildcards. No matter what combination or parameter I used never had luck with that feature.

[code]

E:\NFS_mod\entpackt\tracks>quickbms.exe nfsshift.bms -f "f:\Programme\nfs shift\Pak
files\*.bff" e:\NFS_mod\entpackt

[\code]

Is the wildcard support gone away, or did I screwed the commandline?

Thanks

at the moment quickbms supports only one single input file, so no folders or wildcards.

the -f option indeed is referred to the extracted files, for example -f "*.dds" for extracting all the dds from the input archive

anyway just in these days I'm working on a new minor version of quickbms which will have support for input folders so "when" it will be released you could use it as:
Code:
quickbms -F "*.bff" nfsshift.bms "f:\Programme\nfs shift\Pakfiles" e:\NFS_mod\entpackt

while at the moment the only way to make a multi extraction is through the "find" tool that is really a joke to use:
Code:
find "f:\Programme\nfs shift\Pakfiles" -iname "*.bff" -exec E:\NFS_mod\entpackt\tracks\quickbms.exe E:\NFS_mod\entpackt\tracks\nfsshift.bms "{}" e:\NFS_mod\entpackt
the needed files for the find tool:

why a substitute?
the console of windows is perfect for these command-line jobs, just like any other console of the other operating systems.

Installed cygwin and find it way better (autocompletion, history, copy paste, powerful gnu tools) than the normal commandshell. But you are right, normally you don't need the commandshell in this extend and it does the job. :)

ah I understand.
also the MSYS console of Mingw is not bad, in the previous versions it was better both visually and technically (worked just like on *nix) while now it uses a cmd.exe-like console
