naming spreadsheet in command line

[Janet Y Bang]

Hello, 

Is there a way to name an output from the command line when it is spreadsheet? For example, when you use the command: mlu +d. I noticed that there was a redirection option (>, >> or >&) with the +f switch when the output would be a .txt file, but couldn't figure out a way for this to work for spreadsheets? 

Thank you,

Janet

There are several way to change the output file name. The first is a redirect way that looks like this:

mlu +d file.cha -f > out.xls

This will create "out.xls" output file. You should not use >> or >&, because the "out.xls" file has strict XML format that Excel can process.

The second way is to use +fS option like this.

mlu +d +fone file.cha

This will create output file "file.one.xls". The string (S) after +f option can be any word you want.

Leonid.

Hi Leonid,

Thank you the -f switch is what I needed!
