How can we automate RoboHelp Update of Linking Doc files through scripting without launching RoboHelp Application GUI?Why is it that everytime scripting is launched through RoboHelpHtml -x test.jsx,RoboHelp GUI opens?Can't we do these stuffs with CLI only without automatic launching of GUI?If not through scripting,through some other means?RHCL doesn't provides this interface,i think!

You can quit RoboHelp when the script is done:

RoboHelp.quit();

At least the GUI won't remain when the script is done, although you will see it when the script runs.

RHCL does not show the GUI, but there are also less options.

William,

Thanks for your reply.Yes,I can quit RoboHelp once my scripting is done by RoboHelp.quit().But isn't there any other option to do automation with cli only?We want to automate this Help Integration for our Build Server.We want to change only doc file and then xpj project should automatically get developed from it and them through rhcl html o/p should be generated.But If during the build time,RoboHelp GUI will open,even for few seconds,it wont be good.That is why I was looking for a cli interface which could do this automation thing.

It seems no one has an idea. You can use RHCL, but that can only compile the help. I don't believe it updates linked documents.

I'm sorry, but it seems this cannot be done at the moment. Please consider filing a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform If Adobe doesn't know what their clients want, it becomes very hard to create the software we need.

Greet,

Willam
