# Arguments in a file

You can save parameters in a file and use the filename in your command-line. Even if this is not retricted to `/excludePath -` you can specify any parameter in a file - excluding folder paths is a nice and useful example how to make use of parameter files.

For example, imagine you have a file called `exludeFolders.txt` in your workspace.

```
/excludePath="Boomi_MarkusSchmidt/#FlowServices"
/excludePath="Boomi_MarkusSchmidt/05-Error Handling/Test"
/excludePath="Boomi_MarkusSchmidt/API"
```

You can then specify this file as a parameter using the **@** tag:

` bc comp get`` `` `**`/c`**` ``e4bc4a53-e338...`` `**`@excludeFolders.txt`**

All information in the file will be used in the command-lien as it was specified directly.
