Question

Go To Bookmark on Start

Probably a simple question for the experienced Adepters here:


How can I start Arbortext (from the command line) and go to a specific bookmark? Can't seem to find the right parameter to pass to epic.exe.



Thanks in advance!!

    If there isn't a startup-specific command for that or a standard way to
    pass a command from the startup, you can definitely pass the name of an ACL
    file to be run on startup. That ACL could definitely navigate to a
    particular bookmark.

    Thanks Paul!

    After creating the ACL to call the bookmark at startup (which worked), I was able to use that code directly in the parameter passed to epic.exe. Originally was trying this using the -C1 parameter but after some testing, realized that it had to be -C2 parameter, which occurs after init.acl is read. For anybody interested here's the final working call:

    epic.exe -C2 "bookmark::goto_bookmark('Bookmark Name')" filename.xml

    Excellent! Thanks for posting the solution. Always nice to have a "solved
    case" for the next person trying to do this.
