wbmgt decode

Read the entered message files and decode them to text files. All BMG files of an archive (SZS,...) are concatenated to 1 source. This command is similar to PATCH, but the result is always decoded. The default destination is '%P/%N.txt'.

Options
Option Param Description
-d --dest path Define a destination path (directory/file). The destination - means: write to standard output.

The path may contain escape sequences: %Q is replaced by the fully qualified source name. %P and %F are replaced by the source path or by the filename. %N and %E are replaced by source filename without extension or by the source extension. Finally, %T is replaced by the default extension of the destination format.

A '?' direct behind '%' in %E and %T conversions avoid that the same extension is used twice in row.

-D --DEST path Like --dest, but create the directory path automatically.
-E --esc char Define an alternative escape character for destination files. The default is '%'. For Windows batch files it is a good choice to set '-E$'.
-o --overwrite Overwrite already existing files without warning and ignore option --number.
--number If a file already exist, append a number directly before the file extension to make the filename unique. If other numbered files already exist (ignoring case), use the maximal existing index+1. --num is a short cut.
-r --remove-dest Remove already existing files before creating it. If set, --overwrite is ignored. --rm-dest is a short cut.
-u --update Create only files that do not exist. Already existing files are ignored without warning. If set, --overwrite and --remove-dest are ignored.
-p --preserve Preserve file times (atime+mtime) while converting or copying files.
-H --no-header Suppress the syntax information section in BMG text files.
-B --brief If set, the information header in decoded text files is suppressed (for historical reasons same as --no-header). If set at least twice, all comments are suppressed and the output is packed without empty lines. If set 3 times, the #BMG-TXT file indentification is also suppressed.
-1 --single-line If set, don't print continuation lines for BMG text output. If set twice, print only single text lines but not value lines.
--no-bmg-color If set, suppress the output of '\c{color}}' escape sequences for colors definitions in BMG text output to be compatible with old versions of the tools.
-l --long Print long numeric message IDs instead of alternative message names like Txx, Uxx or Mxx.
-X --export Enable the export modus and create small and machine readable text files for easy post processing. The option works similar like -HBl11 for BMG text files.
-i --ignore Ignore non existing source files without warning.
-P --patch-bmg mode=file This option specifies a BMG patch mode. Some of the modes need a file name of a patch file (raw or text BMG), both separated by an equal sign. Modes with required file names are PRINT, REPLACE, INSERT, OVERWRITE, DELETE, MASK, EQUAL and NONEQUAL. Standalone modes are ID, ID-ALL, CT-COPY and CT-FILL. Unique abbreviations are allowed. If this option is used multiple times, all patch files will be processed in the entered order. --patch is a short cut.
--msg list If this option is set, the BMG messages are filtered by this list. Only enabled messages are exported to the ouput BMG file (binary or text).

The parameter is a list of message ids (short MID, 'Txx' or 'Uxx' or Mxx' or hex number) or message ranges (MID:MID) or one of the keywords NONE, CUPS, TRACKS, ARENAS, CHAT, CTCODE or ALL. If an element is preceeded by a minus sign, it is removed from the list.
