Command-line import of template with variables

[shawn]

I find myself in a situation where I have to add 973 new app profiles based on a single template to Ketarin. By tomorrow, of course.

 

For now, I'm writing a little script in Excel that'll create custom XML docs based on my template as if they were created within Ketarin (unique GUID and parameter substitution). I'll import those through the interface or with the existing /install= switch.

 

In the future however, I'd like to be able to use something like this:

 

ketarin.exe /install=mytemplate.xml /p(name)="My name substitution" /p(class)="my class substitution" /p(changelog)="whatever I want in the changelog parameter"

This would replace the placeholder values in mytemplate.xml for 'name', 'class' and 'changelog' with the string values from the command line.
