By "The command line" is meant the WindowsTM command line / command prompt / DOS-Box.
You can access them in several ways:
* Start > Run > your command
* Press Win-Key+R
* Start > Programs > Accessories > command prompt
* Create an shortcut to an executable and modify the target field ( see picture)
* Use the address bar from XYplorer by using one or two leading !-signs as modifier.
* Open an DOS-Box with button in XYplorer menu bar.
* create an batch.cmd and write the commands in there.

Then you can use the XYplorer "command line" switches/commands like:

Code: Select all

Command line switches

The overall command line format is:
X:\path\to\XYplorer.exe[ /win=min|max|normal][ /ini=myini][ mystartpath]

You can run a script on startup directly from the command line. 
The switch is /script=[script resource], where [script resource] can be:

1) The path to a script file (commonly called *.xys). 
For example  XYplorer.exe /script=test would run the file <xyscripts>\test.xys on startup.

2) A script.  It must be preceded by ::, and it must not contain double quotes 
or other characters that might lead to problems when parsing the command line. 
For example  XYplorer.exe /script="::msg 'Welcome to XY!';"
