error message: "skindle is not recognized as an internal or external command, ..."I'm having a problem and would appreciate some help.
I downloaded Skindle. Then I downloaded 7zip to extract it (it took two steps to extract it -- it went from a .tgz file to a .tar file before I finally got the skindle folder -- not sure if that's normal, but eventually I did find the skindle.exe file). Anyway, I clicked on skindle.exe, but nothing happens. That's probably where my problem lies, but I continued anyway. I: 1. downloaded a book to my laptop using Kindle4PC 2. copied that ebook file and dumped it into the same folder on my desktop that contains the skindle.exe file 3. renamed the ebook file book1.azw 4. went to the Windows button on the lower left of the screen, typed "run" in the search window 5. a box popped up that says "open:" 6. I typed into it: 'skindle -i book1.azw -o bookdone.azw' and hit "ok". I get an error message that says "Windows cannot find 'skindle'": Code:
skindle is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file I am not very computer literate, don't know anything about scripts, and don't understand most of the technical stuff in this thread. Scott Blake's posts are the only ones I can follow. So please, please dumb down your responses for me. My feelings will not be hurt. Thanks. |

Re: error message: "skindle is not recognized as an internal or external command, ...I thought I disovered my mistake. Instead of tying the string ('skindle -i book1.azw -o bookdone.azw') into the "run" window I located the "command prompt" window and entered it there. I still get an error message:
Code:
'skindle is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. |

I know how to call up the command prompt (I go to the Windows symbol on the bottom left of my screen, type "command prompt" in the search window, and then it gives me the option of openning the command prompt.) However, I don't understand what you mean by typing dir "when in that folder". When I open the command prompt it's open as it's own independent window and is not associated with a specific folder I'm in. For example, I just typed dir into the command prompt and it listed all of my directories (desktop, contacts, favorites, documents, music, pictures, etc...) What do I do with that? Thanks. |
