tjvoll Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 if i have files 1.picnc to 100.picnc and i want to make an .avi, what in the following line is wrong mcp -v C:\*.picnc -o C:\new.avi assuming the .picnc files are in the root, and mcp is executed correctly.

tjvoll Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 ahhhhh man. so, it works once, now i try again and i get an application error. The instruction at "0x00434b46" referenced memory at "0x0013b000". The memory could not be "written". What the heck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjvoll Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 nevermind. i tried just going to the windows cmd, but i guess you actually have to using Houdini's Command Line Tools before the csh etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danteA Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 The problem is that mcp like a unix application expects that its shell will expand wildcard arguments while the Windows DOS shell does not. Which is why mcp works under tcsh but not under DOS. When you do: prog *.picnc Under DOS, the program just gets one argument "*.picnc". But if you called it from a unix shell like tcsh, then it gets "1.picnc", "2.picnc", "3.picnc", etc. dante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danteA Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 I've found a way to use mcp without using csh. Instead of doing *.pic, you have to use something like $F.pic. This will get mcp to do its own argument parsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
