Specification of arguments and options

  • Keywords are not case-sensitive.

  • Keywords for function parameters can also be specified in short form.
    The short form of a keyword is indicated in each case in the descriptions in square brackets.

  • The order of arguments is usually without meaning.

  • If arguments (e.g. folder names, file names or patterns for file names) contain spaces or special characters, such as "*" or "?", then the arguments must be specified in double or single quotation marks.
    Otherwise, it can happen that already the operating system analyzes the values and passes them changed to LF‑ET.

  • Occasionally there can be problems resolving arguments if a backslash is followed directly by a quotation mark (\").
    Folder names should therefore not be terminated with \", i.e.

    • not: "C:\Temp\"

    • but: "C:\Temp"

 

Recommendation: Use the "/" character instead of the "\" character when specifying paths:

"C:/Temp/"

If an argument is not recognized correctly, the problem can usually be solved by specifying the argument in double or single quotation marks.
