The name of the plug-in.

Name filters are patterns describing the types of file to be processed by the plug-in. ExamDiff Pro will apply the plug-in to those files whose names or paths match at least one pattern in the filter. Patterns in the filter must be separated by commas. You can use the conventional wildcard characters ('?' to match a single character or '*' to match any number of characters) to specify these types. For example, d?n* and *.cpp are acceptable filter types. If '*' is used as a filter, all files will be pre-processed by the plug-in application.

An executable or a batch file that takes at least one parameter (input file name).

Need to include at least one parameter ($INPUTFILEPATH or $INPUTFILEDIR$INPUTFILENAME$INPUTFILEEXT); if no output file name ($OUTPUTFILEPATH) is used, standard output is assumed. For older, DOS-based programs, you may need to use $INPUTFILENAME_SHORT or $INPUTFILEPATH_SHORT, which provide short (8.3) path and file name respectively.

Here's the full list of built-in arguments:

$INPUTFILEPATH	Full path of the input file
$INPUTFILEDIR	Input file directory
$INPUTFILENAME	Input file name (without directory and extension)
$INPUTFILEEXT	Input file extension
$OUTPUTFILEPATH	Full path of the output file
$INPUTFILEPATH_SHORT	Short path of the input file
$INPUTFILENAME_SHORT	Input file's short name
$OPPOSITEFILEPATH	Full path of the opposite file
$TABSIZE	Tab size

Use this option in order to let ExamDiff Pro generate an error message if the application did not exit with a success exit code (see below).

Success exit code of the application (usually 0).
