Command Line Support

Word Batch Replacer program can be launched from command line. Here’s a list of all supported command line switches:

Switch	Type	Meaning	Example
project	Filename	Word Batch Replacer project file to be loaded	/project=site.wbe
logfile	Filename	Log file	/logfile="log.txt"
tray	Boolean	Automatically minimize to tray	/tray=true
autostart	Boolean	Automatically start replacement process	/autostart=true
autoclose	Boolean	Automatically self-close when the process is complete.	/autoclose=false
autosave	Boolean	Automatically save project on exit	/autosave=true
settings	Filename	Supersede the default settings file. The default settings file, %appdata%\Word Batch Replacer\settings.ini, is used only when there are no command line parameters , or when there is only one command line parameter, project.	/settings=settings.ini
oneinstance	Boolean	Override the Allow only one program instance parameter	/oneinstance=false
toolbarhints	Boolean	Override the Show hints on buttons in toolbar parameter.	/toolbarhints=false
addfile	Filename (Or folder name)	Lets you specify a filename (or a folder name) to be added to the processing queue. Cannot be combined with any other command line option. Adds the specified file (or folder) to the current list of items to be processed. If the Word Batch Replacer window is already running, the file (or folder) will appear at the bottom of the processing items list window. This parameter is used to add files via the Windows Explorer context menu.	/addfile="C:\documents\doc1.doc"

Note that during installation, the program registers system alias WordBatchReplacer.exe for its main executable file. So you can type WordBatchReplacer.exe from any current folder without entering the full path.

Examples

WordBatchReplacer.exe /project="MyProject.wbe" /logfile="ConvLog.txt"
/autostart=true /autoclose=true /tray=true /oneinstance=false /autosave=true

- process files and folders specified in MyProject.wbe, write a log to ConvLog.txt, start the process automatically, self-close when the replacement process is complete, automatically minimize itself to the tray on startup, will not exit even if other instances of Word Batch Replacer are already running, and will automatically save the project on exit without displaying any confirmation dialogs. Note that the MyProject.wbe and ConvLog.txt must be located in the current directory.
