Description

Use the format action-option to specify a format other than the default text when generating a report.

By default, a report is written to standard output in text format, but the advixe-cl tool provides a number of options you can use when generating a report.

To write a report to a file, use the report-output option.
Use the format option to choose report format: Text, csv, or xml.
If you choose the CSV format and want to use a delimiter other than the default comma, use the csv-delimiter option to specify the delimiter.

Example

This command generates a Dependencies report in XML file format and saves it as advisor-Dependencies.xml.

$ advixe-cl -report Dependencies –project-dir ./advi -format xml –report-output ./out/advisor-Dependencies.xml

In this example, the Dependencies report is generated in CSV format with tab delimiters, and saved as the file advisor-Dependencies.csv.

$ advixe-cl -report Dependencies -project-dir ./advi -format csv -csv-delimiter tab -report-output ./out/advisor-Dependencies.csv
