How to create a patch file?

[Krudda]

I am in need of teaching how to create a patch file for something I updated from v1 to v2.
Can anyone help? I read up on xdelta and browsed their wiki, but the CLI they gave failed me...

So far the only thing I could work out to do was this:

Code: [Select]

C:\Users\Krudda>xdelta3.exe -e -s H:\_BBT Troll\v2\Birthday boy(DVD)[EGGS] [7412
00FC].mkv H_BBT Trollv2\Birthday boy(DVD)[EGGS]v2 [7F87EEB6].mkv H:\_BBT Troll\v
2\Birthday boy(DVD)[EGGS]v2.xdelta

But it returns errors:
'xdelta3.exe' not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm completely confused.

Ignore the directory, it was just a convenient empty directory from last year some time (April). In no way whatsoever is this a joke file or anything.

Edit: Just noticed a > in the code, instead of a \
as well as a few other directorial issues, wtf windows...
Maybe that was the issue...

In the future - assuming you've fixed your issue and don't still need help - you probably would get more mileage on this kind of encoding issue in the more-appropriate Uploaders' Forum.

I was just gonna mention that. Give it a try with this fix. Make sure the executable is in the specified directory (actually it's usually better practice to cd into the directory containing the exe and running it without the full path).

You may also need to put quotes around your filenames, since they seem to contain spaces.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Found the issue thanks to GrygrFlzr.
Had some help from Al_Sleeper too.

It turns out, that the issue (aside from the malformed addresses) was xdelta3.exe was not the full pathnane. The second issue, was as Freedom Kira said; I require quotations.

Thanks everyone, I'll edit this post when I get home to include what I did, so anyone else who reads this, may benefit from it.

I recommend this too. Easy to use and saves time.
