Wave:CLI

Wave | Download | Development

Wave has a command-line interface (CLI) that offers the commands described below.

Type Wave.exe -help to get help in the console.

Import

Wave.exe -import file1[, file2[, ...]]

Import one or multiple files and then show Wave.

Notes:

• Depending on the file format, the file import dialog may be shown when importing files using the CLI. To avoid this, use a WVP file as input in which the series to import or the import settings are already specified.

Examples

Wave.exe -import path\to\file1.zrx path\to\file2.zrx

Imports the time series contained in the two files file1.zrx and file2.zrx.

Wave.exe -import path\to\file1.csv

Opens the File Import Dialog for file1.csv and then imports series as specified by the user.

Convert

Wave.exe -convert [-i] file1[, file2[, ...]] file_out

Import one or multiple files and export them as CSV to file_out, without showing Wave.

The option -i (interactive) will show the Import File Dialog for files containing multiple time series. Without the option -i (non-interactive), no dialog will be shown and all series from all files will be imported.

Notes:

• If file_out already exists, it will be overwritten.
• To specify which series to import from which files without interaction or to specify more import settings, use a WVP file as input.

Examples

Wave.exe -convert path\to\file1.wel path\to\file2.zrx path\to\file_out.csv

Imports all the time series contained in the files file1.wel and file2.zrx and exports them as CSV to file_out.csv.

Wave.exe -convert -i path\to\file1.wel path\to\file_out.csv

Opens the Import File Dialog for selecting the series to import from the file file1.wel and exports them as CSV to file_out.csv.

Wave.exe -convert path\to\projectfile.wvp path\to\file_out.csv

Imports series from files as specified in the Wave project file projectfile.wvp and exports them as CSV to file_out.csv.

Notes

• Filenames and paths containing spaces or special characters must be enclosed in quotes
• The CLI was added in Wave v1.10.3
