checked few times and all files are in folder, same names like in list.txt

Then your list.txt file must have a formatting error! Make sure each entry is spelled correctly and on a separate line and no weird characters at the beginning or end of each file name!

When the error pops up, what is the last file shown in the command window? That could lead to that file or the file next in the list.txt being where the problem lies!

my list.txt is good, i copied list from conversion instruction can this be related to encoding(i use ANSI)?
this that i get:

[BarryB]

Well, you've stumped me there L.A.? The encoding in Notepad is default at ANSI so that should not be an issue!

If all files are in the same directory, c:\ind, then I can't see a reason for it to not work!!

I've just followed my own instructions and it works! The first file in list.txt is bigfile_pc.idm so it's not getting past the first file in the list, could be either the tilde '~' symbol or the underscore '_' not being parsed?

I can't think of anything else to do!

thats too bad i extracted files from cab using winrar (winace too). maybe you know another program to edit cab files? Winace can edit but i dont now if file listing will be the same

[BarryB]

Not sure at the moment, I'll try and find some!

Meanwhile can you try the pocedure on another PC if possible and see if that works, just to prove it's either a procedure error or your PC!!

i used WinRAR 3.40 and WinACE 2.5, i'll try to use WinRAR 3.50 and WinZIP 10. maybe i'll be able to test this conversion on another pc, i hope it will work
