Uncompressing LAZ files

[Dwight Crouse]

Hi Martin,

I'm just trying to uncompress some LAZ files to work with another
application that uses LAS format. I thought that using the laszip
command should work, I put the laszip.exe into my data folder and
tried to run it using the following syntax c:\data\laszip *.laz.

Am I missing something here?

Hi Martin,

I figured it, I needed to put the .exe in the command line too.

Cheers,

Dwight

I have the same issue, what was the ultimate command that worked for you?

[Dwight Crouse]

Hi Hollie,

This is the command that worked from the dos command prompt.

c:\data\laszip.exe *.laz.

Cheers,

Dwight

Hollie, Dwight

 

At some point you always need to tell your command prompt where lastools is to make a simple command like the one you have played with work.  Also when in the forum add the error message or feedback from the command prompt to help us give you advice.   For example you might have been given an error like “laszip is not a recognized as an internal or external command….”

 

In a batch file you will notice it is important to add this to reference the lastools install folder.

 

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\lastools\bin;

 

When just working at the command prompt in this simple manner just run discretely nominate the location of lastools install folder and also the data directory.   Good practice would be to also nominate a separate output directory!

 

For example type: C:\lastools\bin\laszip.exe C:\data\*.zip

 

And if your just starting out just use the LASZIP GUI till you get the hang of command line parameters!

 

Hope this helps.
