ezEdit provides for the use of a minimal number of command-line switches that can be implemented as needed. These switches can be entered in any order and are not case-sensitive. To add a command-line switch, modify the ezEdit shortcut. Add the switch (as documented below), separating each switch with a space.
Note: You must have a space between the end of the executable (program) name and the first command-line switch.
An example command-line switch would look like: C:\dcsTools\ezEdit\ezEdit32.exe /debug
Available Command-Line Switches

Usage |

/Debug |
This command-line switch enables additional tracking of information during application execution. ezEdit application event log detail can also be controlled with settings in the Preferences dialog. The command-line setting will override preference settings only if the detail level is less than the Debug setting. |
Discontinued Switches
1.Effective with version 2.1.0, support for command-line loading of a log and/or inventory file has been removed. These actions are no longer applicable to the application, which now supports multiple log windows.
2.The "-T" switch, which invoked special, fault-tolerant handling of a log file, is no longer useful. Current versions of ezEdit automatically handle malformed log records that this switch helped overcome.
3.The "/LAN" switch, which forced the ezEdit preferences file to the application directory. Beginning with ezEdit version 2.4.0, the preferences file is always located in the application folder. The change from the original location, the Windows folder, was made to accommodate increased security functionality in Windows XP and later operating systems.
