--input-dir argument about biosutilities HOT 4 CLOSED

Please show how exactly you're trying to use/run a given script using "--input-dir" parameter.

from biosutilities.

Okay...

All manners I used it under Ubuntu 22.04

python3 script.py --input-dir folderA/bios.exe -o folderB

or (with ./):

python3 script.py --input-dir ./folderA/bios.exe -o folderB

or (with single quotes):

python3 script.py --input-dir 'folderA/bios.exe' -o folderB

or (with single quotes and ./):

python3 script.py --input-dir './folderA/bios.exe' -o folderB

===

NOTE: I also tested all of those options along with -i parameter and between quotes ("")

from biosutilities.

Now I tested like this python3 script.py --input-dir './folderA' -o folderB (by ommiting the bios file name ) and that worked.

Ok, That way was different for me.

Only now I realized that if I pass the input parameter along the folder path where the BIOS PE is placed, the script runs every bios PE file inside that given folder.

That is fine, so abort my suggestions.

Thank you!

Yes, the issue was wrong usage of the parameter. As its same and description explain ("extract from given input directory"), it works with directories/folders, not files.
