Global Variables and Command Line ?
Is there a way to pass global variables from the command line?
I have a filter that I have to change a couple of variables each time to run. I wonder if I can pass the variable from the command line or any other external way?

Hi Othni,
The latest 8.1 release of TextPipe now allows globals to be set on the command line e.g.
textpipe.exe "/f=myfilter.fll" "@address=3 blank st" "@city=norwood" "@zip=424324"

Re: Global Variables and Command Line ?
Just a quick one, in dos i have the following:
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
Which means that I can have a environment variable of !NAME! instead of %NAME%. Now I execute:
textpipe.exe "/f=myfilter.fll" @address=!NAME!
But text pipe does not recognise the SETLOCAL i have put in place, it only recognises the %NAME% type. This is not a shortcoming but rather a "like to have"![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

No need to respond. Are more thorough testing it works fine. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
