Somebody asked this question:

I downloaded a program svgb.exe that decodes encoded SVGB files into normal SVG. It is a command line tool. The syntax is

svgb.exe "Entry01.svg" "Entry01.svg"

I have thousands of files in \folder1 that need to be decoded and placed into \folder2. Is there a way to automate this ?

Yes.

Here is the script. It is in biterscripting. ( http://www.biterscri...om/install.html for installation instructions. I downloaded it for free.)

Save this script as C:\Scripts\svg.txt. Start biterscripting. Call the script as

script "svg.txt"

That would decode all of your thousands of files. Here is the script.

# Collect a list of input .svg files from \folder1.
var string inputlist; lf -n "*.svg" "\folder1" > $inputlist
# Chage current directory to output directory.
cd "\folder2"

# Process input files from list one by one.
while ($inputlist <> "")
do
	# Get the next input file.
	var string input; lex "1" $inputlist > $input

	# Input file name is in full path, extract just the file name into $output.
	var string output; stex "^/^l[" $input > $output

	# Decode file using svgb.exe.
	svgb.exe ("\""+$input+"\"") ("\""+$output+"\"")
	# We are wrapping $input and $output in case file names/paths contain spaces.
done
