Reminds me of the days when I worked for a company producing online courses and was doing all the html/JavaScript/ASP/DB coding and always went through hell trying to produce a product that would work with multiple versions of NN and IE.
Anyway I do try and run my files through
epubcheck before uploading here and this seems to be a good place to ask a couple of questions that have been annoying me.
First I am running under Windows XP and would like to have the
epubcheck output write to a file so that I have the written output and also can use a BAT file to run it instead of typing the whole command at a command prompt each time. The trouble is that a BAT file of:
Code:
java -jar epubcheck-1.0.5.jar colomba.epub > verifyout.txt
produces the file verifyout.txt with content consisting only of:
Code:
Epubcheck Version 1.0.5
Whereas the actual output should continue:
Code:
ERROR: colomba.epub: length of first filename in archive must be 8, but was 9
Check finished with warnings or errors!
I always get this error, but have yet to figure out what it means.
