Scripting - Command Line processing

Command-line options for EZSurvey (or EZSurvey Pro). These commands can be included in a batch file, and utilized with a scheduler program, to run independently of EZSurvey.

1. Here's the modern way to do things in EZS 2005 and later:
   • ezsurvey.exe open=file.ezf run=script.js
     Opens file.ezf and runs a javascript script file (.js). See Scripting - About Scripting for more information.

2. And, for backward compatibility, all of these are available:
   1. ezsurvey.exe file.ezf
      Opens a form
   2. ezsurvey.exe open=file1.ezf,file2.ezf
      Opens several forms
   3. ezsurvey.exe cmd=translate open=file1.ezf
      ezsurvey.exe translate file1.ezf
      Opens a window for translating the program into another language
   4. ezsurvey.exe cmd=setup open=file1.ezf
      ezsurvey.exe setup file1.ezf
      Sets file associations, sets the spelling dictionary paths
   5. ezsurvey.exe readmail
      ezsurvey.exe cmd=readmail
      Runs the email processor. Set up email processing options first.
   6. ezsurvey.exe cmd=readmail open=file.ezf data=c:\data\*.txt
      Reads email files from c:\data\*.txt for the file.ezf project.
   7. ezsurvey.exe open=file.ezf cmd=readweb
      Opens file.ezf and does a web import
   8. ezsurvey.exe open=file.ezf cmd=readweb data=file.asc
      Imports web data from a specific .asc file
   9. ezsurvey.exe open=file.ezf data=source.dbf cmd=import
      Appends data from source.dbf (or any other valid data source, like odbc://dsn/table) to the database for file.ezf
