which command line to use here

[SoulsKeeper]

hi guys i need to execute this file but don't know which command line to use could you help me figure it out and maybe tell me how to look for it myself so i wont have to bother you

Thanks!

Hello,
open a terminal window (command prompt if you are on Windows). Write "python main.py" and press enter. That is if you navigate the terminal to location of main.py, or open a terminal at that location.
Otherwise it's "python path\to\main.py"

Thank you but the command is incomplete it seems to have a path and flag if i'm not mistaken

this is what i get when i tried to only execute main.py before

(disregard the first line i wrote phythong instead of python)

[j.crater]

You are right, I didn't even look at your code close enough to see it requires arguments - two of them, third is optional.
First is path to the file. Second is flag (no idea what it does). Third is path to created output file.

Output:
python main.py /path/to/file flag /path/to/output/is_optional

The flag is a secret code
i need to apply Main.py on a gif file, which means the only way to find out what the flag is, is through the gif file

do you have an idea how might i do that?

[j.crater]

I don't know how to find a flag / secret code in gif file. However I am not sure this is a Python question.
Or if the answer lies in the code you posted, its author / manual / docs should be of more help.

found this in the a file that is related to my query metadata comment, but i can't figure out what it means:

RDBNBIYURO#{EW}GMFSK!LT_AH

does it look like code to you?

[j.crater]

It does not look like code to me.
But I must point out I don't know what you are looking for, or how it should look like. And also, if it is not related to Python coding, this forum (or at least sub-forum) is not the right place to look for answer.
