Hi Arjun and welcome to the site.
I just tried the following and it seemd to work:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CaseWare IDEA\IDEA\IDEA.exe" "F1.IMD"
IDEA opened up and opend the F1.imd file. Been a long time since I worked with the cmd line so you might have to play around with it on your end.
Thanks

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply. Actually much knowledge of IDEA script is nothing. The script works if i don't give the /M , But when i give that /M its not working. And i am told to check why. If you dont mind , can you please explain what that /M does?
Thanks

Hi Arjun,
Unfortunately I don't know why. I am not an IDEA technical support person. I would recommend you go back to your IDEA supplier and ask them the question as they should have access to some technical support.
Good luck.
Brian
ISM is a script file. You need to COMPILE (create executable) & run that file from the command line/CMD prompt
"c:\my idea documents\my script file.exe"
as long as you have a CLIENT.QUIT in the script, it will exit when completed
Its a few years later but if you would have moved the " a tiny bit it would have worked:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CaseWare IDEA\IDEA\idea.exe" /M="G:\IDEA_Files\xxxxx\xxxxxism"
