Passing Arguments to the CLI from a File

To pass an argument to the CLI from an input file, you can use the Expand option. To do this, you create a file into which you enter the information you want to pass to the CLI. Each argument and its value must be listed on a separate line. Arguments must be listed in the order in which the command requires them. To pass these arguments to the command, call the command and make the exp: argument the first argument.

For example, here are two files (file1.txt and file2.txt) that can be used in conjunction with the exp: option:

file1.txt:

hdb.h.la
-u
[user]
exp: file2.txt

file2.txt:

-p
[password]

To execute them, type:

cr_cli -cmd exp:file1.txt

The first file will call the second file and execute the command.
