hello friend

You can access the gCLUTO software from the command line by accessing the .exe file.

After you move to directory where the software is installed and make it the current directory.

Then you can access the software.

I hope this helps you.

Dr.Indrajit Mandal,

Thanks for your comment.

But I want to access this software from command line (CMD).

Probably, something like:    > gcluto.exe input=inputfile parameters=xxxxx

I need this to call gCluto from inside my own program via programming.

Thank you for your care.

Which programming language you want to use? In matlab you can use system() method to call any exe programm like:

command=['path/gcluto.exe'  'input=inputFile'];

system(command);

Hi, I'm writing my codes in VBA for MSAccess.

Some programs accept parameters after exe and some not.

It is not clear for me if gCluto can be used from command line to open a project mentioned as parameter after the exe.

I think you can call exe from vba as well following is the answer from stackexchange check this out. Hope it will help.

Dear Muhammad Kamran Abbasi,

That link is only to open an EXE file (a program itself).

when you want to open a soft and send some parameters to it, (open a project, ... ), a command line format is usually required.

Shell command is used to send parameters, again.

Thanks for your care.

In that case create a batch file (.bat) with all your parameters set in it and then call batch from your code it will execute every thing provided in batch with all its settings and parameters. ( by the way in that link it is explained that how you call a program and pass parameters to it from vba. According to provided question description that fulfils the requirement of the asked question, or I am completely mis-understanding your question, sorry if later is true)

Dear Muhammad Kamran Abbasi,

Thank you for your helpful comment.

In the following paper by the authors:

gCLUTO – An Interactive Clustering, Visualization, and Analysis System

found:

A stand-alone, command-line version of the various clustering algorithms in gCLUTO are also available in the CLUTO clustering library available at http://www.cs.umn.edu/˜cluto.

The link was broken when I tried it, but hopefully the authors provide a new one.

Thanks again for your help.
