The most complete and up-to-date documentation is the one of Banana Accounting Plus: Try it now

In this article

Banana can be started by giving a series of command (for a list of command and examples file see below).

Example: open a file
banana70.exe c:\temp\example.ac2

 

Rule for command line command

  • The arguments need to be preceded by a minus “-” sign. If an argument is missing of the “-” sign, it is interpreted as the name of the file to open.
  • Include the whole argument within the delimiter “…” if the text include whitespace.
  • Running import as command in the command line save the accounting file on exit

If a command fail, than a return code different than 0 is returned, and the error is inserted in the log file (only if the option –log_file was used).

Examples

Example: open a file:

banana70.exe c:\temp\example.ac2

 

Export to xml file

banana70.exe -cmd=export "-cmd_file=c:\temp\my example.ac2" "-cmd_p1=c:\temp\myexample.xml" -cmd_p2=xml -period_begin=2006-01-01 –period_end=2005-03-30

Example: import transactions (use the file name with the proper directory name)

banana70.exe -cmd=import -cmd_file="company.ac2" -cmd_table=Transactions -cmd_p1=import_mov.txt -cmd_exit=1

For detail information regarding the import of transaction see the page "Importing in txt format".
