gsar - replace string includes colon

[Ben Pollinger]

Hello all,

I'd like to use gsar in a batch to process a file thus:

gsar -sDUMMYPATH -rC:\Program Files\MyApp -f MyApp.ini

...but gsar says "command error, not a valid decimal number : \Pr"

I tried enclosing the replacement in quotes but to no avail.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Ben

Sorry, belatedly realised that :: is the partial answer

gsar -sDUMMYPATH -r"C::\Program Files\MyApp" -f MyApp.ini

BUT - quotes still don't work: I get error:

command error, no input file name specified

Any further thoughts?

The program is complaining because you have used the -f option which requires a source and output file. If you replace the -f with -o it will update in place.

Try
gsar -sDUMMYPATH -r"C:/Program Files/MyApp" -f MyApp.ini

or
gsar -sDUMMYPATH -r"C:\Program Files\MyApp" -f MyApp.ini
