Command line use

Hello all of you,

Question from a newbee, related to the command line use.
First, I tried to use the provided help, but this do not solve my problem.

I want to automate the use of school-related games for a child. Original CD is without any protection, and operation done manually (with Daemon Tool) works very well.

So, I tried to make a bat file like this :

>J:
>cd \Burn\D-Tool\
>daemon.exe -unmount0
>daemon.exe -mount0."G:\Mes fichiers recus\for Windows\Jeux\ADI - Anglais - CD01.nrg"

And some syntax variations. Each time, I get "Unkown switch command".

Where is my error ?

Thank to all of you.
Administrators : if required, could you update the help file ?

Best regards, Gester.

It's mount 0,"imagefilename", not mount0."imagefilename" - i.e. a space between mount and the device number, and "," instead of "." - there MUST not be a space between 0, and the image file name, otherwise you'll get "error in commandline".

What update to the help file do you need?

Hello,

Thanks a lot. This was the mistake.

The update is inside the help file provided with Daemon tool (1033.chm file, in the Help sub-directory) : chapter usage, paragraph Command line switches : no space after mount, use of point instead of coma.

Best regards, Gester.

Strange, here it is stated correctly in the helpfile (same filename).

-mount
allows mounting images from command line (or shortcut).
Syntax is: -mount <n>,<path>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed) and 'path' is the full path to the image file.
Example: daemon.exe -mount 0,"c:\My Images\nameofimage.cue".
Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!

The other options would be to just use Daemon Script and not worry about scripting errors.
