I want to used createBaffles -overwrite, but it show this

$ createBaffles –overwrite
Using: OpenFOAM-2212 (2212) - visit www.openfoam.com
Build: _f8e05934-20230403 (patch=230110)

Expected 0 arguments but found 1

See 'createBaffles -help' for usage
 or 'createBaffles -help-full' for extended usage

then i use only createBaffles
it show

$ createBaffles

how can i solve it
here is my createBafflesDict code

Hey


I can't help you about the overwrite option not working, but the warning about editing the fields just means that in the new time folder created and containing the new mesh, OpenFOAM usually tries to create the boundary files updated with the new baffles you juste created. OF warns you that you should check those files just in case it messed up something. So it does not mean that something went wrong, just double check the new files and you should be good!
