Can't open BibleMultiConverter #18

Good afternoon, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for some help but I downloaded the latest converter and I can seem to make it work. I downloaded the latest java and configured my windows 10 to run it but it is not loading up. Could someone please help me get it to load. I don't know what I am dong wrong. Thanks. Juniju

Quite unclear bug report. :-(

You are aware that you have to start it in a command line window? (Ok, on Windows you probably could also try PowerShell, but its powers won't help you here much)
When you do so, what output do you get? On Windows, you have to right-click the title bar to get a menu where you can copy and paste the text. If you don't get that to work, you can also create a screenshot and attach it here (just press Ctrl+V in the comment window and GitHub will attach it).

Thank you for the quick response. I really appreciated. I do not know how to start it in command line. Can you help me please? Jean

Instead of start Explorer you use java -jar BibleMultiConverter.jar

Then after you read the output, add arguments at the end (format names and file names).

I did and this is what I get: C:\Users\jgilb>java -jar BibleMultiConverter.jar Error: Unable to access jarfile BibleMultiConverter.jar

C:\Users\jgilb>

I also tried to locate the folder where the files are but i got the same results C:\Users\jgilb\Desktop\New folder>java -jar BibleMultiConverter.jar Error: Unable to access jarfile BibleMultiConverter.jar

C:\Users\jgilb\Desktop\New folder>

I don't know why it is not loading.

I got it to work. Yes! but I still need some more help. I don't know what you mean by add arguments at the end (format names and file names). Do yo mean the file I want to convert?

schierlm commented 6 years ago

The file you want to convert and the file you want to get out. Also the formats of those files.

For example:

java -jar BibleMultiConverter.jar ZefaniaXML kjv.xml MyBibleZone kjv.sqlite3

to convert Zefania XML version of the King James Version to MyBibleZone format and name the output file kjv.sqlite3.
