Purpose
The isx cat command concatenates the specified ISX files into a single ISX output file.
Ensure you use single quotes (') around the specified pattern, or your command shell will expand the pattern before passing it to the MettleCI command line!
For example, let’s assume we have three ISX files:
$> ls -l *.isx -rw-r--r--@ 1 johnmckeever staff 5.5M 10 Aug 12:46 jm_one.isx -rw-r--r--@ 1 johnmckeever staff 4.7M 10 Aug 12:46 jm_three.isx -rw-r--r--@ 1 johnmckeever staff 6.2M 10 Aug 12:46 jm_two.isx
The command…
$> mettleci isx cat \ -isx out.isx \ -pattern `jm_*.isx`
…will successfully concatenate your three files, but…
$> mettleci isx cat \ -isx out.isx \ -pattern jm_*.isx
…will not work, as jm_*.isx will expand to jm_one.isx jm_three.isx jm_two.isx which is syntactically incorrect.
Syntax
Example
$> mettleci isx cat \
-isx cat_test2.isx \
-pattern assets/CleanUser*.isx \
-pattern assets/ConnectorTest*.isx
