Question

I am using Command line data loader in Salesforce & create simple “process-conf.xml” file , I want to access csv file with relative path.

For Example:

<entry key="dataAccess.name" value="\Users\User\Desktop\Data Loader sample1\CSV Files\insertAccounts.csv"/>

And process.bat file is present in :-

C:\Program Files\salesforce.com\Data Loader\bin

Any suggestions?

process-conf.xml doesn't seem to allow relative paths so you'll have to script something prior to launching process.bat. Here's one solution, which involves creating a template, then using ant to substitute values:
