Group: Forum Members Posts: 53, Visits: 313	Hi, I have successfully run a number of batch files, but am having problems with a very simple one and can't work out what I am doing wrong! I am doing it exactly the same way as I have the others. The batch file is as follows: <batch> / file = "Choc Demographic study2 Timepoint2.iqx" / file = "Choc Film Assessment1.iqx" / file = "Choc Film Assessment2.iqx" / file = "Choc Emotion Study2 timepoint2.iqx" </batch> The files are all in the same directory with the batch file (second highlighted script name below) and the names of the files in the batch are correct (see below). But I get the following warning (i.e. that the element is unknown and that no such directory exists) I'm sorry if it is something obvious I am missing but have tried a few different things and I can't get it to work. Many thanks, Rebecca

As your screenshot of the files makes clear, there is an additional space in the 1st script's file name. I.e. <batch> / file = "Choc Demographic study2 Timepoint2.iqx" / file = "Choc Film Assessment1.iqx" / file = "Choc Film Assessment2.iqx" / file = "Choc Emotion Study2 timepoint2.iqx" </batch> is wrong and should actually read <batch> / file = "Choc Demographic study2 Timepoint 2.iqx" / file = "Choc Film Assessment1.iqx" / file = "Choc Film Assessment2.iqx" / file = "Choc Emotion Study2 timepoint2.iqx" </batch> (alternatively leave the <batch> as is and remove the space from the file name)

Must have been having a moment - I looked at it so many times I just didn't see it! Sorry

Must have been having a moment - I looked at it so many times I just didn't see it! Sorry No worries! It's easy to miss, especially after a long day. I know because it's definitely happened to me, too.
