inkscape shell mode

I tried to run inkscape shell mode by writing these lines in a .bat file:

inkscape --shell

>2.svg -e 2.png

But it doesn't work at all (no png files), more over I tried to open the current svg input and I found it damaged and I failed to open it at all. Could any one please tell me the right command lines to enter the SHELL mode and开发者_JAVA技巧 execute other inkscape command lines.

You're redirecting output, using the >, to 2.svg. > means redirect output to this file.

Probably more correct would be:

rem echo the commands you want to execute to a file
echo 2.svg -e 2.png > commands.txt
echo quit >> commands.txt
inkscape --shell < commands.txt

not sure if this works because I don't use windows.
