Blastdbcmd - Too Many Positional Arguments <1>, The Offending Value: %F - Windows
Hey guys, I'm trying to use blastdbcmd - when I type the following on cmd
blastdbcmd -db databaseBLAST -entry_batch -outfmt "%f" -out test_query.txt
the following error pops up:
Error: Too many positional arguments <1>, the offending value: %f
I typed %f so that it's in Fasta format, and even after spending so much time on the internet to figure out, I still have no idea what to do for this error.. Would you please be able to help me out? Thank you so much in advance.

I just got the same problem and the issue was in the name of my folder. There was a white space, blast does not like white spaces, -, + in the files and dir names.
