Thanks Bill, but I haven't managed to get farther than opening a command window. Everything I've typed into it so far has resulted in a dos version of a sceptically raised eyebrow.
The sgfs are located in a folder called "tsumego" located at the top level of the partition "D." Can you or anyone else tell me exactly what to type in the command window, and whether I have to type the name of each sgf?
Type "D:" without quotes to get to the D: drive, prior to using any "cd" command.
Thanks, but after typing d in the command module and pressing enter, something appears to the effect of: "The command 'd' is either written wrong or could not be found."
But even if I got to "D," I still need someone to explain how to "navigate" to the folder and what exactly to type.
Thanks.
Ok. Go to the start menu, and select run. Type:
cmd
This should open up a command window. The next thing to check is if the java executable - you probably have it - is in the classpath. In other words, you can see if you can execute the java command without specifying the directory. To do that, in the command window, type:
java -version
Just typing:
java
could work to. Confirmthat the command is found.
Assuming java is found, to make things easier on you, simply look at the directory the cmd window is open to. In windows explorer, copy the jar file you downloaded and all sgfs to that directory.
After this, back in the cmd window, type:
java -jar sgfMerge.jar x.sgf y.sgf z.sgf
where x, y, and z are the sgf filenames you want to merge. If you have more than three sgf files, just keep appending more arguments after z.sgf.
If you could not find java, above, let me know, and we can discuss more from there.
