Hello everyone!
Trying to convert tab to opf (-utf8) with cmd and there's a syntax error: invalid syntax.
Anybody, please?

1) What exactly did you enter at the command line?
2) Did you make sure that the source has the correct format?

Thanks for your reply.

1. "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\tab2opf.py" -utf "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\angpol.tab"
File "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\tab2opf.py", line 2
%s
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

2. Yes, I did.

You usually have to preface a command with "python" so your computer knows what to interpret the script with:

python "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\tab2opf.py" -utf "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\angpol.tab"

But if that were the problem, the error would likely be different (unknown command/program or some-such).

It looks like tab2opf.py is a python 2.x.x script. You aren't, by chance, trying to run it with Python 3 are you? (If you just type "python" at a command prompt, you should be able to determine your Python version). That won't work.
