Switch

Meaning

/I{Input File(s)}

Input File(s) to be converted.

A single file including its complete path can be specified for a single file conversion (i.e. "D:\MyInputFiles\Single.TXT".

If specifying a single file, make sure that the /O switch also specifies a single output file (i.e. "D:\OutputFiles\TargetOutput.CSV".

Alternatively, you can specify whole directories by using the wildcard syntax (i.e. "D:\MyInputFiles\*.TXT"). If specifying a whole directory, make sure the /O also specifies a whole directory with a new target file extension. (i.e. "D:\OutputFiles\*.XLS").

See also /S for subfolders.

/O{Output File(s)}

Output File(s) to be created when converting the input file(s). Use ".CSV" to specify comma delimited file output. Use ".XLS" to specify an Excel file output

If specifying a single input file, make sure that the /O switch also specifies a single output file (i.e. "D:\OutputFiles\SingleImage.CSV".

Alternatively, you can specify whole directories by using the wildcard syntax (i.e. "D:\OutputFiles\*.CSV"). If specifying a whole directory, make sure the /I also specifies a whole directory with an input file extension. (i.e. "D:\MyImageFiles\*.TXT")

This switch is ignored if the /G Switch is used.

/R{Recipe File}

Recipe file to use.

/S

/G

Save files to their original folders. Use this in conjunction with the /O switch to place the converted files in the same folder as the original file. Cannot be used when converting a single, specified file from within a folder. Use the /O switch instead.

Files will be saved with the same name as the original but in either .XLS or .CSV format. You cannot specify a different name for the output file when using the /G switch.
