To run the Export/Import utility from the command line, run expimp32.exe. It supports the following command line parameters.
NOTE:
Unless you include the /S parameter, the Export/Import Utility dialog box appears, displaying the values specified by the command line parameters.
All tables in the database are included by default.
Unless you specify otherwise, an ini file is the default format, empty tables are not included in the data file, and a detail file is not created.
/D filename |
Export the specified data file. The file is created in the current directory unless you specify a different drive and directory. A file extension is not needed.You can include either the /D or the /I command line parameter. If you include both, only the /D command line parameter is used. |
/I filename |
Import the specified data file. The file is imported from the current directory unless you specify a different drive and directory. A file extension is not needed. You can include either the /D or the /I command line parameter. If you include both, only the /D command line parameter is used. |
/A directory |
Specifies the location of the InfoConnect database to be exported or imported. If you omit this command line parameter, the database specified by the Windows registry is used. |
/FC |
Use csv format for the data file. |
/FI |
Use ini format for the data file. |
/OD |
Create a detail file. If you include the /S command line parameter, you must include both the /D and the /OD command in order to create a detail file. The detail file will have the same name as the data file, but will have a *.dtl extension. |
/OE |
Include empty tables in the data file. |
/OT |

/S |
Run in silent mode (no dialog box or message box appears). To run the utility in silent mode, you must also include either the /D or the /I command line parameter. |

For example, the following command exports the current database. It shows no user interface and creates a file called icdata.ini.
expimp32 /S /D c:\icdata.ini
The following command imports content from the icdata.ini file into the current database
expimp32 /S /I c:\mypath\icdata.ini
