I am trying to encrypt the password using command

encrypt -e mypassword "D:\SFDC_docs\Salesforce-connectivity\try\Key.txt"

but getting error as

" security.EncryptionUtil main (EncryptionUtil.java:289) - Invalid option format: ûe".

I need this to use command line data loader. Please help. Please dont mark it as duplicate as the solutions given in other threads are not working for me.

    It looks like you mypassword string contains characters that the cmd.exe is interpreting as option strings. First thing to try is to add double quotes i.e. try "mypassword". Or change your password and stick to simple alphanumerics (and make your password longer to compensate security-wise).

  • try removing dash "-" in front of "-e" and inserting minus instead. If you copy/pasted this from some document then dash in "-e" may not be the "minus" character you think it is. Just remove the whole "-e" thing and type it again.

I guess you copy pasted command encrypt.bat -e "C:\temp\key.txt" from some website.

It should be minus sign instead of dash, Can you try to type it and run it. You may find some helping steps here as well.

    Um, what is the difference between minus sign and dash?

I think you must write "encrypt.bat" with extension instead of only "encrypt".

Hope this may help.
