Variables substituted in the parameter values passed to the –p and –pu options

The following variables are substituted in the parameter values passed to the –p and –pu options.

Variable	Description	Example
%{I}	Full path of the input DOCX file.	C:\My Docs\report.docx
%{O}	Full path of the output XML file.	C:\My Docs\out\report.xml
%{i}	Absolute URL of the input DOCX file.	file:/C:/My%20Docs/report.docx
%{o}	Absolute URL of the output XML file.	file:/C:/My%20Docs/out/report.xml

Variables %{I}, %{O}, %{i} and %{o} may all contain one or more of following modifiers. First modifier must be preceded by character “~”.

Modifier	Description
n	The name of the file or URL without any extension.
x	The extension of the file or URL. Starts with “.”.
p	The full path of the parent directory of the file or URL.

Note that combinations of modifiers other than “~nx”, “~pn”, “~pnx” do not make sense and that, for example, %{~pnxI} is equivalent to %{I}.

Examples: let’s suppose that command-line argument in_docx_file (see above) is “C:\My Docs\report.docx” and that argument out_file is “C:\My Docs\out\report.xml”.

%{~nI} is replaced by “report”.

%{~xI} is replaced by “.docx”.

%{~pI} is replaced by “C:\My Docs”.

%{~nxo} is replaced by “report.xml”.

%{~pno} is replaced by “file:/C:/My%20Docs/out/report”.

Other variables substituted in the parameter values passed to the –p and –pu options:

The value of another parameter passed to w2x by the means of the –p or –pu options. Example: when “w2x -o map -p transform.topic-type concept ...” is executed, %{transform.topic-type} is substituted with "concept".

Any Java™ system property. Example: %{file.separator} is substituted with "\" on Windows and with "/" on the other platforms.

When a variable is not defined, its value is "", the empty string. Example: %{foo} is substituted with "".
