Error when recompiling a .dex file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

when I use smali1.3.2.jar to recompile (reodex?) a smali file, I've got this 
message :

// *** Extract ***

My syntax is : 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin>java -Xmx512M -jar 
C:\Users\HP-AMD\Downloads\lvl_demo_unpatched\smali-1.3.2.jar C:\final\ test.dex

You might look over the smali usage message again :)

You are passing "test.dex" to smali, like it is a .smali file for it to 
assemble. So it's trying to parse test.dex as a smali file, and failing 
miserably. Because it's a dex file. Not a smali file :)

You probably want
java -jar smali.jar <directory with smali files> --output C:\final\test.dex
