TrID Scan v1.56 error

[Sam.]

I am in the process of analyzing several dozen game file formats for submission, but it seems that I have tried to pass far more than the maximum number of files supported to TrID Scan v1.56.  I am not sure if it is TrID Scan or the command prompt that is the limiting factor, but when I try to have it analyze roughly 14,000 files, it only processes the first 2048.  The command I used via a .bat file is:

Code: [Select]

tridscan.exe "D:\Program Files\TrID - File Identifier\TrIDScan - Patterns scanner\Infinity Engine File Formats\BAM\*.bam"
and the output is:

Code: [Select]

Which program (TrID Scan or CMD.exe) is the limiting factor, and is there a workaround?

PS:  Thanks for the awesome tool!

Sincerely,

Hi!

It's actually an hard coded limit in the program. Never thought it could be really reached! :-)
As a work around, you can simply split the files in groups of 2K.
After the first scan, assign a proper name at the def and proceed with the other groups refining it, like in:

Code: [Select]


tridscan \mydir\*.bam bam.trid.xml
 

Thanks for the feedback,
Bye!

Would you be willing to remove the hard-coded limit?  I will be analyzing quite a few file formats in the near future that will have considerably more than 2048 files...  I can write a program that will automatically utilize the workaround you specified, but I'm hoping it will be easier for you to comment a line or two of code...?

As promised, I have finished creating Defs for all of the Infinity Engine file formats that I have access to (I don't have PST).  To anyone interested, see the IESDP for a detailed description of all of the file formats.

---------------------------
Statistics:
---------------------------
Total Files Scanned = 111077
File Defs Created = 52

I will be emailing the Defs shortly .
