Option "--format" takes an operand

[stephen147]

Using powershell with this code saved as a .ps1 file:

Code: Select all

Get-Content "Z:/Movies & TV/_Newly DL'd/Movie Format.groovy" | Select-String -pattern "^.*//+|^\s*$" -notmatch
filebot -script fn:sysenv --format "$FORMAT"
# filebot -script fn:renall "Z:/Movies & TV/_Newly DL'd/_To Process" -non-strict --format "$FORMAT" --db TheMovieDB --action test --log info

It returns an error:

Code: Select all

Option "--format" takes an operand

Along with using this format code. PS. I came across this problem before and it was the format code at fault but I cannot fix this issue.

Code: Select all

	'AAC LC' : 'AAC',

	def audioClean = { it.replaceAll(/[\p{Pd}\p{Space}]/, ' ').replaceAll(/\p{Space}{2,}/, ' ').slash(' ') };

		def ch = channels.tokenize('\\/').take(3)*.toDouble().inject(0, { a, b -> a + b }).findAll { it > 0 }.max().toString() + 'ch';
		def codec = audioClean(any{ au['CodecID/Hint'] }{ au['Format'] });
		def format_profile = { ( au['Format_AdditionalFeatures'] != null) ? audioClean(au['Format_AdditionalFeatures']) : '' };

		def stream = allOf { mCFP.get(combined, 'UNKNOWN_FORMAT--'+combined+'--') } { dynChannel } { ch };
	};
	// call{n} + ' (' + call{y} + ') ' + 
	call(collection[0].join( ' ' ));
}

$FORMAT isn't set, so it says Option "--format" takes an operand because --format requires a value.

@" ... "@ works just fine. Value passed in is identical to the one specified in the ps1 script.

Code: Select all

$FORMAT = @"

filebot -script fn:sysenv --format "$FORMAT"

If you want to read the format from a file, a little trial and error shows that this works, for some mystical reason that only the PS1 gods can know, but it works nevertheless:

Code: Select all

$FORMAT = Get-Content format.groovy | Out-String

filebot -script fn:sysenv --format "$FORMAT"

Thanks. I got it to work straight after I post only I wasn't allowed to spam the thread soon after I'd already posted.

Always after I spend yonks wondering why something doesn't work I get it to work or find the issue after posting a thread.

TLDR User error, AGAIN!!

Forgot to assign the variable $FORMAT in the ps1 file.

WORKING CODE BELOW:

Code: Select all

$FORMAT=Get-Content "Z:/Movies & TV/_Newly DL'd/Movie Format.groovy" | Select-String -pattern "^.*//+|^\s*$" -notmatch
filebot -script fn:sysenv --format "$FORMAT"

But passing the variable like you found out is good too.

I like PowerShell.

Code: Select all

| Select-String -pattern "^.*//+|^\s*$" -notmatch

Part of the code will remove any empty lines and also lines that have been commented out with

Code: Select all

//

in the format file.
