Geographic Information Systems Asked on July 20, 2021
I have two GDAL scripts provided to me by a Developer for my app. Their purpose is to Georeference a large PNG used in the app. For that reason I am reluctant to try and Georeference the image in any other way. I am using GDAL 2.4.1, released 2019/03/15 in Mac Terminal. OSX Sierra
The first (gdal_translate -of GTiff) assigns coordinates to the image and that appears to work well. There is a displayed count up to 100 by tens that takes a few minutes and the new file with new name is created.
The second (gdalwarp Code Below) does not give any error message, but it does not render anything. After it is entered, the Terminal window just shows a caret. “gdalinfo –version” does not work on this second lone caret so that it appears to have been bounced out of the Terminal shell. I understand the second process is a long one and I have left it overnight. I am so new to Command Line apps that I am not sure how to find the fault or to monitor if the process is working in any part. When I type “exit” I do not get any Alert of an ongoing process.
Please let me know if you see an error or need further clarification.

Latest news:
Looks like deleting quote marks (") in gdalwarp path works. Weird b/c quote marks worked in gdal_translate path.

You have a fancy quote ”
instead of the proper "programmer" quote "
there at the end:
"/Users/graphicedge/manhattan_Slices/Slice1234-trans.png”
Quotes are used to denote/deliminate strings and must always appear in pairs.
That means the full command has 3 proper quotes and one that is just a fancy character.
That then means that your terminal receives the following snippet as a string:
"/Users/graphicedge/manhattan_Slices/Slice1234-trans.png” "
and then the following bit with a single dangling quote at the end
/Users/graphicedge/manhattan_Slices/Slice1234_modified.tiff"
That nothing happens is because the terminal waits for a quote that closes the string.
Replace that fancy quote with a normal "
and it will work.
