Why won TextPipe Lite run from the command line?
(Try using the Command line wizard in the Tools menu) There are a number of possible answers. Firstly, the evaluation edition of TextPipe Lite always displays a dialog when it runs that requires operator intervention. This dialog is not in the registered versions. Secondly, you may not have specified /G /Q at the end of the command line. This tells TextPipe Lite to run the current filter and exit when it has finished e.g. “C:\Program Files\DataMystic\TextPipe Lite\textpipe.exe” /f=autorun.fll /g /q Thirdly, you may have forgotten to correctly quote long filenames (e.g. those with spaces). You must use double quotes around the ENTIRE parameter. e.g. “C:\Program Files\DataMystic\TextPipe Lite\textpipe.exe” “/f=long filename filter.fll” /g /q See the notes in TextPipe Lite’s help file under the command line topic.
