Command Line (scanEZ)

The Command Line

scanEZ.exe "=<notes.ini path>" "<server>" "<database path>" "<Document ID>"


All arguments are optional, see example below for usage.

<notes.ini path>Full OS path of the notes.ini file.
<server>Server name where the database you want to open is located. Leave empty if server is local.
<database path>Absolute path to the database you want to open.
<Document ID>NoteID or UNID of the document you want to open. Must be the hexadecimal value.

For a NoteID, you must add NT before the hexadecimal value. "NT002a" is equivalent to "NT2a" or "NT2A".
NOTEDouble quotes (") are strongly recommended in case the directory's name has a space.

BackSlashes (\) are strongly recommended; scanEZ understands Slash (/) and double BackSlashes (\\) via the Windows system but it sometimes produces unexpected results.

Equal sign (=) is necessary.

The notes.ini string is case-insensitive, "myDir\notes.ini" is the same as "MYDIR\NOTES.ini"

The notes.ini must always be the first argument, even if a server, a database and/or a note are specified.

The order is important: "server" "database." If the database is on local, give an empty string.

A note could be given with its noteID, preceded by NT, in hexadecimal format. "NT002a" is equivalent to "NT2a" or "NT2A"
