Hi, um, my name's Zander and i have a history of PMing Kovidgoyal in panic about something that isn't working, only to find that when i next log on it's sorted itself out. (Sorry, Kovid.) So i thought i'd try a different approach with this possible problem and see if it works the same magic cure.
i have a bunch of LIT files that i want to convert using lit2lrf. i tried using the * wildcard first, and that didn't work for some reason that wasn't clear to me (it said "unable to read"...) so then i tried one particular file, and i got the help file for the command followed at the bottom by "No .lit file specified." So then, following a hunch, i renamed the file, removing the author's name and the space-hyphen-space before the actual title, and this time it seems to have worked.
All these files have the author's name and space-hyphen-space in the names.
So my question is: is that really the problem, and if so am i going to have to go through nine hundred files one by one and remove the space-hyphen-space manually
, or is there some slightly quicker way?
