In the NCH Unified API readme.html appears this line: "You should consult the documentation for the NCH software application you wish to communicate with for the exact parameters you need to use."

Maybe it's just male-blindness, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find the documentation for the NCH software application Express Rip anywhere on the website.

In the dim past, I wrote a Visual Basic application, using Shell and some command line arguments, and it worked tolerably well. But now I'd like to make it a bit more robust. The API and Java interface look like just the ticket, but I really need to find a list of commands and how to use them.

I've submitted a ticket at NCH. If and when I get a response from them, I'll follow it up on this topic. In the meanwhile, does anybody know where the list of commands is along with how to use them?

I think I've found an undocumented command line argument that fixes the problem.

It is "-rip".

So here is what I did (from the directory where expressrip is, which makes the example shorter):

C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\ExpressRip>expressrip -hide

C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\ExpressRip>expressrip -rip

C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\ExpressRip>expressrip -exit

C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\ExpressRip>

Obviously, I could have executed from any directory, by fully-qualifying the expressrip name. But abecause of the space in "program files", you would need to enclose the fully-qualified file name in quotation marks.
