Command Line
Replace Genius supports command line arguments on startup. This makes it possible to control Replace Genius from scripts and similar. There are two "modes":
- If you start Replace Genius with a filename as command line argument, it will attempt to load this file on startup. When the file has been loaded, nothing more will be done.
- The more advanced mode allows you to load, process and save a file from the command line. You must give Replace Genius instructions on what to do:
/l "[path to file]"
- The file you want to load./s "[path to file]"
- This is where to save the file after processing./p "[name of preset]"
- Processing is done by telling Replace Genius to apply one of the presets. This is simply the full name of the preset./x1 [number]
and/x2 [number]
- If you are loading an Excel spreadsheet you must tell Replace Genius what worksheet (x1) and column (x2) to load. This must be a number (not a name or letter).
Here is an example. Note that you should always put
"
around the filenames and preset names:ReplaceGenius.exe /l "d:\lorem ipsum.txt" /s "c:\processed.txt" /p "my preset"
After the file has been save, Replace Genius will automatically quit.
