Command Line Options

RSS Bandit also supports some command line options to control how the application starts and what User Interface Language should be used. The command line syntax to be used:

RssBandit.exe [options] <feedUrl> [<feedUrl> ]*

The application accepts fully qualified feed URL's as <feedUrl> parameters you want to like to subscribe to.

Here is the complete list of supported options and their descriptions:

Option Description
-h[elp] Opens a message box that lists all available command line options
-t[askbar] Application starts minimized; it will be only visible as a small icon in the windows task notification area (where the clock runs)
-c[ulture]:<text> Application User Interface will use the specified culture. The <text> parameter have to be spcified following the RFC 1766 standard in the format "<languagecode2>-<country/regioncode2>", where <languagecode2> is a lowercase two-letter code derived from ISO 639-1 and <country/regioncode2> is an uppercase two-letter code derived from ISO 3166. For example, U.S. English is "en-US". In cases where a two-letter language code is not available, the three-letter code derived from ISO 639-2 is used; for example, the three-letter code "div" is used for cultures that use the Dhivehi language. Some culture names have suffixes that specify the script; for example, "-Cyrl" specifies the Cyrillic script, "-Latn" specifies the Latin script.
The supported language matrix provides a list of the current supported User Interface Languages valid for the available versions of RSS Bandit (please note: some of them need to have the appropriate operating system language extension package installed to get correctly displayed, e.g. Chinese-Simplified).
