How to use detox version 1.45

1

Hello,
I want to use detox version 1.45.
But I don’t understand how to configure and use the 2 additional files of this version.
Where should the custom files be placed?
What must the sequence file contain so that the names respect UTF8?

When I run the command :
detox -nrv -f /etc/detoxrc -s utf_8 file /home/me/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/
I get :
Scanning: file
file: No such file or directory
Scanning: /home/moi/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/
/home/moi/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/: No such file or directory

thank you for your answers

Hi,

You are instructing the detox command to search among other things for a file called file:
$ detox -nrv -f /etc/detoxrc -s utf_8 file /home/me/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/

Which is no there. Try insead:
detox -nrv -f /etc/detoxrc -s utf_8 /home/me/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/

hope this helps…

Hello Lubos,
Trying to remove “file”, I get the message :
No such file or directory

in that case perhaps this path /home/me/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/ is incorrect.

Hello Lubos,
I checked the syntax of the path.
It’s correct.

But I don’t understand how to use the two new features in this version of DETOX, DETOXRC and DETOX.TBL.

Thanks if anyone can help me,

Hello Lubos,
I didn’t quite get it right last time.
Indeed, by removing ‘file’ from the command line below:
detox -nrv -f /etc/detoxrc -s utf_8 file /home/me/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/
Or by writing :
detox -nrv -f /etc/detoxrc -s utf_8 /home/me/Documents/Asso_et_syndicat/asso1/2009/

I no longer get the error message and it seems to be working.

All I have to do now is check whether rsync will work after I’ve modified all my directories.
I’ll keep you posted on the rest.
Because, apart from the detox I’ve got to do everywhere, I’ve got the power to do.

Thanks and see you in a few weeks.
Cassis
