Command Line Overview

Overview of available command line switches:



-macro mymacro
Set the macro name.



-loop <x>
Use the "LOOP" function instead of "PLAY". The number of loops is set to <x>. Example: with "-loop 20" the macro will run 20 times.

Tip: The Windows scripting interface allows you a much finer control over loops. Use for example:

set iim1= CreateObject ("iimwsh.iim")
i = iim1.iimInit 
for m = 1 to 5
  i = iim1.iimPlay("mymacro")
next
i = iim1.iimExit




-noexit

If IIM is started via the "-macro" command line, IIM closes after the macro is completed. If you want to keep IIM open, use the "-noexit" switch. A typical use of this would be if IIM handles a login for you and you want to continue to work in the browser window.
