I am working on a small tool that will take some info from my Notes database and make some changes in a CCF. I only have access to lotusscript for programming, and with it I can only launch programs (i.e. what you can do in a command line in DOS)or edit text documents. Knowing that, does anyone know of a way that I can automate the CCF->CSF and then the CSF->CCF

Anthony,

I've done an automated compile before but cannot exactly remember the command line. I have it in Source code @ home for the SonyCDSuperCharger.

I believe it's something like the following:

CCFCompiler.exe -source "Your CSF or XML file" -dest "Your CCF Filename"

If this does not work, drop me an email and I'll post an update tonight.

If you need this information ASAP, you can open up CCFEXT.DLL in a hex editor and search for "-source" or "%s". That's how I found out what I needed to do plus some experimentation.

Thanks a lot, it worked

for others I tried the decompiler
CCFdecompiler -source yourCCF.CCF -destination yourXML.XML -XML to decompile to XML -run to run automatically

PS what is gray is for your info (i.e. what the tag does) and what is in blue you replace by your file names

Anthony,

I completely forgot about the -run (Required). Thanks for verifying and posting the results.

For the compiler, I believe there is a -CompressIcons or -Compress flag that can also be turned on to compress icons. You may want to verify and post the results.

If there is an error compiling/decompiling, the dialog box is not dismissed automatically and requires user intervention. This is a good thing simply because if all goes well, no intervention is required yet if things screw up, the user can at least see the logs to discern why things went awry.

could not find it, but there is the otomizer that can be run seperetly.

But to be complete there is also the -csf flag (to compile/decompile into a CSF format and a -all that I have no idea what it does
