Command Line Exporting

From Fortis

Make sure the Fortis bin directory is in your path: (This is necessary the first time only.)
Adding Fortis as an environment variable

1. Export the file in Fortis, but make sure to deselect the filter option—you only want to desegment the file.
   • Manually rename the file extension to .txt when you are finished. Put the result in the same directory as the .fff and .cod files.
2. Start a new command window: start > run > cmd
3. Use the “cd” command to change directory to where your .fff and .cod files are, ex “cd c:\myfiles”
4. Type “filtername.exe” and hit enter. If your path is set correctly it should display a screen of instructions.
   Note: Each filter takes different parameters, so pay attention to what order the input and output files go, what files are needed, etc. See the table below for more filter-specific information.
5. To export type “filtername.exe” with the required list of parameters after it, each separated by a space, i.e.,

   mswordfilter.exe /synthesize myfile_xx.doc myfile_xx.txt myfile_xx.cod

   Note: Write down any warning or error messages.
6. If it was successful you should now have the file named “myfile_xx” (where xx is the target language) in the target format.
