How to fix "texexpand error: More than one input file specified" in latex2html

January 20, 2011
There's a bug that causes problems when running latex2html on files which have spaces in the path. The workaround is to either move things to folders with no spaces, or add appropriate symbolic links.

This error had me stumped in trying to process a latex file with latex2html:

texexpand: Error: More than one input file specified.
texexpand failed: No such file or directory

The fix is simple - make sure the path of the current directory does not have any spaces.

The only workaround to this is to convert the logfile to the new evtx format prior to parsing it.  You can do this in the event log viewer GUI by doing a Save As... but I find it easier to do this at the command prompt:

wevtutil epl application.evt application.evtx /lf:true

I'm trying to process Windows Event Viewer files (.evt) from some servers on my Win7 machine, which kept me giving a "log file is corrupt" error message. The trick is to convert it to the newer .evtx format before processing. Thankfully this can also be easily done using a command-line utility.

Nestlé pods, pal; it’s a lifetime relationship.  That $500 machine is a down payment on a 400-900% tax on every cup of coffee you make with it: three cups a day and you pay for the machine again, or more, every year you own it. Next, a frying pan customized to work only with a single brand of eggs, yup.

I don't understand the popularity of those pod-fed coffee machines. The pods are expensive and the coffee is bad. I much prefer my Krups machine - whole beans (my choice) and water go in, nice fresh coffee comes out.
