How to create WinRAR, RAR file via command line with a certain profile

Question

I'm referring to the profiles visible in the GUI version of the application. Can these be accessed via command line? I'm trying to create a RAR file via scheduled batch script. Thank you very much.

As per documentation provided in WinRAR manual use -cp <name> switch to select compression profile.

Here is a cite from the documentation:

Using this switch you can load settings stored in WinRAR compression profile. You need to specify a profile name as switch parameter. If profile stores selected file names, WinRAR will compress both files specified in the command line and stored in profile. If profile contains an archive name, it will be used in archiving and you should not specify another archive name in command line.

Archive *.txt files using settings from "My Texts" compression profile by using:

WinRAR a "-cpMy Texts" texts *.txt
