The purpose is to set up a file-association that Windows will then remember afterwards.. not to try and convert the .obj then and there.

Thanks, Thargoid; I did use the actual filename in the command prompt- I'm new to this, but not that new to computing :lol: :lol:

So, I tried the command C:\(directory)>python obj2dattex.py C:\(same directory)\ship1.obj. It returned yet another error; I'd already changed the working directory so the redundancy seems to have been the issue.

I then tried running it in my Python interpreter (I know...I figured it was worth a shot) using the syntax obj2dattex.py ship1.obj, this gave me a syntax error. Go figure :?

The error seems to be related to something in line 31 of Obj2DatTex.py, if that helps. < inputfilename, "r">

Basically, I'm using the syntax Thargoid recommended...it's just not working for me for unknown reasons.

Which version of Python do you have installed?

Could you post the exact error message, please?
