Hi David, As Tom also mentioned, I run the command on linux, in your case, like this: ..\utils64\xml2gbs -fO ..\Import\OSIS\OSIS-lbc1646.fix.xml lbc1646
Windows also can have issues if there are spaces in the path. I don't know if your full path has any spaces, but you might want to try running from c:\ directly, or some path that has no spaces. After command runs, the 3 files are in current directory. If it does not work on Windows then there might be wins problem, not sure. *--Timmy Braun* On Wed, Jun 3, 2020 at 6:23 AM David Haslam <dfh...@protonmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Tom, > > The module name is [LBC1646] (as specified in my .conf file), and that > points to the right module path. > > This was the command in my CMD file, all of which are stored in a folder > called Make under my Sword path. > > ..\utils64\xml2gbs -fO ..\Import\OSIS\OSIS-lbc1646.fix.xml > ..\modules\genbook\rawgenbook\lbc1646\lbc1646 2>..\Log\error.log > > NB. utils64 is a symbolic link to where I installed the Windows edition of > Sword utilities (x64 version). > Likewise, the Import folder is one I created some years ago.
