EasyPattern Helper can be run from a DOS shell or from a shortcut with
parameters to make it run automatically, loading a given pattern.
"C:\Program files\EasyPattern Helper\easypatternhelper.exe"
"/f=my replaces.eph"
Note:
- Any commands with embedded spaces must be surrounded with double quotes.
You must surround the entire command/setting combination e.g.
"/f=c:\Program Files\EasyPattern Helper\my
replacements.eph"
NOT /f="c:\Program Files\EasyPattern Helper\my
replacements.eph"
- Windows limits the command line length to about 260 characters. You can
overcome this limitation by using the /Z=<filename> command to load
command line parameters stored in a file. Note that you
MUST remove any double quotes from around
commands with embedded spaces when you put them in the command file.
Conventions used below:
<> surrounds text that is to be entered. Do NOT enter the '<' and
'>' characters
Alternatives are shown in square brackets '[' and ']' with a pipe '|'
character between them. Do NOT enter the square brackets or the pipe character -
just type the single alternative you require.
Usage:
"C:\Program files\EasyPattern Helper\easypatternhelper.exe" ["/F=my replaces.eph"]
Where [commands] is zero or more of:
| /F=<.eph filename> |
Opens a EasyPattern Helper settings file. |
/Z=<filename>
|
Read command line parameters from the specified file. Very
useful for performing large numbers of changes, or for working around the Windows
limitation of approx 260 characters on the command line.
For example, if you had the long command line
start /w easypatternhelper.exe "/f=my special filter.eph" /g
"/f=my special filter2.eph" /g "/f=my special
filter3.eph" /g "/f=my special filter4.eph" /g /q
This would change to something like
start /w easypatternhelper.exe /z=commands.txt
and the file commands.txt would contain
/f=my special filter.eph
/g
/f=my special filter2.eph
/g
/f=my special filter3.eph
/g
/f=my special filter4.eph
/g
/q
