Quick Convert Syntax |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Quick Convert, as many would call it, allows a user to convert files from the DOS command line without going through the menus. The syntax for this type of convert is as follows: CONVERT inputfilename outputfilename inputfiletype outputfiletype fielddelimiter recorddelimiter deletecharacters (Each parameter is separated by a space) If converting a file from WP 5.1 named TEST to WordStar 3.3 the convert line would read... Convert test test 1 4 *The fielddelimiter, recorddelimiter, and deletecharacters are needed only if Mail Merge (9) is used for the input file type. They are entered the same as they would be if you ran the Convert Program using the prompts. It is important to know that if a file already exists by the same name as the output file one specifies, it will be overwritten automatically by the output file generated in the conversion. Because of this one does not need to include a "y" for YES to overwrite. This information is covered in the WordPerfect manuals under CONVERT. Please see the manual or the manual infobases for additional information. |
