Error: The syntax of the command is incorrect

Question

I'm trying to run this on windows https://github.com/brian-yang/table-parser-opencv

It says I should run it as follows: python main.py <filepath>

When I try to run it like this:

python main.py <C:\Users\blabla\files\filename.jpg>

It gives that error

I also tried like this:

python main.py <'C:\Users\blabla\files\filename.jpg'>

and like this:

python main.py <"C:\Users\blabla\files\filename.jpg">

and like this:

python main.py <r"C:\Users\blabla\files\filename.jpg">

and like this:

python main.py <r'C:\Users\blabla\files\filename.jpg'>

I also tried it with a pdf.

and it still gives the error "The syntax of the command is incorrect"

Can anyone offer any advice? I tried in python interpreter and that seemed to be wrong as well, considering the line of code is already calling python.

Answer 1

You should try this:

python main.py C:\Users\blabla\files\filename.jpg

It is basically a way of passing the parameters using command line
