USEFILE (or UF) is a universal argument that allows you to specify a text file that contains command parameters instead of typing parameters into the command line. This command adds a great flexibility to the febootimail utility.
For example, use TO with the USEFILE argument instead of providing a large list of comma separated email recipients. Also, using TEXT with the USEFILE argument allows to send preformatted text files preserving spacing, tabs, new lines, line feeds etc.
Command syntax
- febootimail -TO -USEFILE recipients.txt
- febootimail -TO -UF to.txt -SUBJ -UF subj.txt -TEXT -UF email.txt
USEFILE argument can be used after any command that requires specifying a value. In this case, a value of the variable is taken from the specified file, not from the command line:
febootimail -SERVER -UF server.txt -FROM -UF from.txt -TO -UF recipients.txt -SUBJ -USEFILE subj.txt -TEXT -USEFILE message.txt -COMMENT Substitute every parameter with text filesWhen using batch files, USEFILE becomes an even more powerful feature that allows to use both dynamic and static text files.
