Batch command error: "More than one file name has been given"

[RandomNewbe]

Hello

I was trying to do a batch edit with mkvpropedit to set the Subtitle track 1 as default for multiple files;

The script I used:

for %%a in ("*.mkv") do mkvpropedit "%%a" ^
--edit track:s1 --set flag-default=1 --set flag-forced=0 ^

call
pause

This however returns the error "More than one file name has been given"; I've tried to take a command from another script so the output files are renamed, and so I tried next this one:

for %%y in (*.mkv) do mkvpropedit -o "%%~dpny_edit.mkv" "%%~fy" ^
--edit track:s1 --set flag-default=1 --set flag-forced=0 ^

call
pause

I had a similar script for swapping audio tracks using mkvmerge instead of mkvpropedit - that script did renamed the output files into "Filename_edit" so I thought I'd borrow it and change mkvmerge to mkvpropedit but apparently this too, doesn't work for the same reason "More than one file name has been given"

I've tried to mess around with the script for about 30 minutes now and I'am pretty sure I came pretty close to cause my PC a stroke... I'd really appreciate some help :(

for %%a in (*.mkv) do mkvmerge.exe -o "%%~dpna_edit.mkv" --default-track-flag 2:yes "%%a" --track-order 0:0,0:1,0:2

Track order video, audio, subs.

May need to be enhanced for more subs?

Thanks - that worked
