Command Line Processing: Overview

Last update: March 2017

 

RC-WinTrans offers two options for automating processes via batch processing.  These are the command line tool and Windows scripting.

 

See also: "Batch Program/Batch File."

 

 

Command Line Tool

The RC-WinTrans application ("RCWinTrans.exe") is also a command line tool that provides a set of command line commands which can be called from the command prompt, or, more

commonly, from a batch process.

 

A list with descriptions of the command line commands can be found in the "Command Line Commands" help topic.

 

( ! ) Obsolete: "RWTCmd.exe" command line tool.  The command line tool used by RC-WinTrans Versions X8 through 10 ("RWTCmd.exe") also provides a set of command line commands which can be called from the command prompt or, more commonly, from a batch process.

 

The command line tool is a small program which does not execute commands by itself.  Instead, it uses RC-WinTrans as an automation server where it is actually RC-WinTrans that is executing the command.

 

NOTE: To ensure compatibility, the "RWCmd,exe" command line tool is still included with RC-WinTrans 11.  Command line commands for "RWTCmd.exe"...

 

 

Command Line Editor

The Command Line Editor application is used to compose and execute a command line command.  A command line can be created complete with command parameters and options.
"WindowsCmd.exe" will be started and used to execute the command line.

 

For further information see: "Command Line Editor."

 

 

Windows Scripting

Script files in any language supported by the Windows Scripting Host can be used for command line processing.  Examples of such scripting languages include VBScript, Jscript, PerlScript, etc.

 

A script can make use of RC-WinTrans' extended COM automation interface which offers a wide variety of options for automating processes.
