7z to chd with chdman

[shadowfire36]

I have been trying to write a .bat to convert .7z files to .CHD..

it sort of works i can get the zip files to drop the .7z files into .ISO's , but thats it.. it doesnt seem to convert the other part of the .bat  which is to  change them to a .CHD

 

can anyone take a look and see what im doing wrong in this ??

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for %%i in (*.zip *.7z *.rar) do (
    "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x "%%i"
    if errorlevel 1 goto fail
    del "%%i"
)

for %%f in (*.cue *.gdi *.iso) do (
    chdman createcd -f "%%i" -o "%%~nf.chd"
    if errorlevel 1 goto fail
    del "%%f"
    del *.bin
    del *.cue
)

echo Done!
goto :end

:fail
echo Error! Stopped
:end

Change your (2nd) variable from %%i to %%f

(I did not look at any other parameters to verify they're correct)

Its still not working for me with the change - would you mind confirming what it is please as it is super helpful!

Actually, think I found something by fluke and could be useful for others.

The latest version of the BatGUI normally used for Retrobat looks to have batch functionality with a GUI

A closer look at the command line for chdman. the -f should be a -i ("i" for 'input').  My guess is the OP transposed the 'f' and 'i' on that line.  

 chdman createcd -i "%%f" -o "%%~nf.chd"

 

Still not tested though as I don't have anything to convert anymore.  I used this plugin directly from inside LaunchBox, and everything is converted.
