## Update Exchange Rates

### on the command line

If you want to update exchange rates non-interactive, you can use the program arguments on the command line. Please note that in this case no graphical user interface will start.

`cd <installationdirectory>/bin`
`java -jar nc.jar -verbose -filter filtername -rates input`

`filtername`
e. g. "`pacific`". Filter are stored in the directory "`<installationdirectory>/rates` ". Filter files have the extention "`.filter`". If you define "`pacific`" as filtername, the program will use "`<installationdirectory/rates/pacific.filter` ".

`input`
e. g. "`rates.html`". Some web services provide exchange rates in HTML format or just in plain text. In any case please save the webpage to a file.
