FlashPAP Won't Open!

[WSHenry]

C:\A10 Data
Profile = Henry

[Crimson Nape]

Great!

Open Notepad and copy the following into it, and then save the file in the FlashPAP directory as "Henry.fpap".

Code:

FlashAirAppMode=5
FlashAirHost=192.168.1.150
SleepDataApp=
Destination=C\:\\A10 Data
CPAPModel=100
UserName=Henry

In a Command Prompt Window, copy and paste the following command:

Code:

java.exe -jar C:\Program Files\FlashPAP\FlashPAP.jar user=Henry exit=yes

If all went well, FlashPAP ran and downloaded your FlashAir's data to your dedicated directory.
If you were successful, paste the above command in a Notepad file and save it as, Henry.bat.  Now all you have to do to transfer data is to double-click on this batch file, and it will run and then terminate.   To make it less obtrusive, you can add the following command as the first line in the file, @ECHO OFF.

Steps completed as instructed, but no files transferred. I'm about to lose interest at this point. Perhaos we should move this to either PM or EMail.

We prefer not to do things behind the scenes.   There may be readers that either want to learn or follow along.

OK open your command prompt again, navigate to the FlashPAP folder and enter the following command:

Code:

java.exe -jar FlashPAP.jar

See if your Henry profile is listed. Or, even if FlashPAP runs. . .

I'm not capable of navigating at the command prompt. It's been too many years since I was semi-competent in MS DOS. Thanks for your help though. I'm done with this.

OK, I understand. Anyway, here is what you would type in the command prompt:

Code:

cd c:\program files\flashpap

I have created both the FlashPAP profile file and the batch file to run it.  Download the zipped file into your FlashPAP directory and extract them.   I have tested them and they work.

Here is the download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tTk91Ib...sp=sharing

Please note: Except for WSHenry, unless you have the same EXACT paths, directories, CPAP type, and IP configuration, these files will be worthless.

Sorry I couldn't help you.

Red,

I was able to get it to work but only after editing the batch file you created. Also, I needed some cooling off and relearning time. I re-learned how to change directories and navigate from the command line.  So, all in all, a winning and learning day!

The file original file was:

@ECHO OFF
java.exe -jar C:\Program Files\FlashPAP\FlashPAP.jar user=Henry exit=yes

I simplified the path, as the batch file was already in the FlashPAP directory:

@ECHO off
java.exe -jar FlashPAP.jar user=Henry exit=yes

I'd still prefer to stay in the FlashPAP application and then use the button to choose to go to my sleep tracking application (Oscar). How would I do this?

Congratulations!
The space in the path, Program Files, probably needed to be enclosed in quotes to force the batch file to read it as part of the path and not a command separator. To just start FlashPAP normally, remove the two automation options, user=Henry and exit=yes and just use, java.exe -jar FlashPAP.jar.

Removed the two automation options and it runs normally.

Finally, is there a way to not open the command line screen when the batch file runs? There must be switch function, but it's been too many years since I last did any serious scripting or programming. 

You've been a great help with this!
