How to pass a local file name to css-validator.jar?

Question

I'm trying to open a file from the filesystem with css-validator.jar. I tried:

java -jar css-validator.jar C:\\filename and
java -jar css-validator.jar file:\\\\\\filename

but neither worked.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Figured it out on my own: command used in directory of jar is like this:

java -jar css-validator.jar -output gnu file:///"Directory of file"\"name of css file".css

You can then add > or >> and a text type file extension (.txt, .html, .xml, .doc[but not .docx]) to output to file. the gnu can also be text, xml, or a couple other formats.
