The Exult XML Conversion Wizard includes a command-line program which can be used for batch conversions. While the Wizard interface is very useful for interactive conversion, the command line can be used for automated scheduled conversions.

The command line program is called Exultcmd.exe and should be installed in the same directory as Exult.exe. The examples below describe several usage scenarios.

The following examples all assume that Exultcmd.exe is present in the PATH. If not, please substitute the location of the program (by default, C:\Program Files\Novixys Software\Exult <Ver>\Exultcmd.exe, but maybe different on your computer depending on where you chose to install it).

Merge multiple XML files and extract the data to Microsoft Excel:

Merge all the XML files in a directory into a database and extract as an Excel spreadsheet. The location of the output Excel spreadsheet is specified with the -f option. In this example, any existing output files will not be overwritten.

Exultcmd.exe -t XLS -f Example1.xls C:\XMLFiles\*.xml

Convert XML files matching the pattern a*.xml to an XLS file:

This example illustrates the use of a more specific wildcard to select the XML files for merging and exporting to XLS.

  Exultcmd.exe -t XLS -f Example2.xls C:\XMLFiles\a*.xml

Convert files in multiple locations at once:

This example shows how to convert multiple XML files in different directories with the output written to a single Excel spreadsheet.

  Exultcmd.exe -t XLS -f Example3.xls C:\First\Path\To\XML\*.xml C:\Second\Path\To\XML\*.xml

Overwrite existing output files

To overwrite existing files, use the -w option as shown here.

  Exultcmd.exe -w -t XLS -f Example4.xls C:\Data\*.xml
