Running from the Command Line

The jar file includes a command line version of the program that works in a similar way to the original C version of makeztxt. To use this use the following command from the directory where you installed the makeztxt jar file: java -cp ./jmakeztxt.jar makeztxtcmd [options] input_file This will process the given file and product an output file with a .PDB extension. The input file may be either a text file or zip file, as with the GUI version.
The available options are:

Option Purpose Default
-a N Sets format adjust mode to N. For now there is only one formatter available and it accepts values of 0 to 2. The default is zero which should be fine for most purposes.
-b N Sets the format line length to N. The default value is to compute the best line length from the text.
-r String Adds the given string to the list of regular expressions used to generate bookmarks. This option works exactly as for the C version and can be repeated many times.
-t String Sets the title of the output document to the given string. The default is up to 31 characters of the input filename (minus the extension).
-z N Sets the compression mode. A value of one selects the new format compression mode. A value of 2 selects the previous format which is smaller but must be decompressed all at once before reading the document. The default is for new format (1).

Example usage: java -cp ./jmakeztxt.jar makeztxtcmd -t "Return Of Holmes" holm11b.zip
