The program can be started in one of several ways:
When starting from a command line there are three options you can specify. These options are
file specification, including wildcards | filename |
Directory specification | -d or -D |
Filter specification | -f or -F |
You can specify a file, or a filename including a wildcard on the command line. For example:
d:\digests\*.dig
The Directory specification requires a directory path following the -d For example
-d c:\digestdir
The directory path can include a complete filename. The filename will be stripped off before accessing the directory.
The Filter specification is optional and requires a filter in the same format as specifying a filter in the Preferences. For example
-f *.msg
A complete path may also be specified. The path will be stripped off before using the filter. The filter should only be used when a directory is specified.
An example of both options being used is
-d c:\digestdir -f *.msg
Upon starting the program automatically opens files in the current working directory which match the any of the filters in the Preferences. Default filters with the install are *.msg, *.dig, *.pop, *.txt and *. (no suffix). However, if a file or directory has been specified on the command line the program ignores the current working directory and works in the specified directory.
