Running scriptpro from a batch?

I'm trying to setup a script to run nightly on certain folders on our network. I have a batch file written and scheduled to run as a task. Problem: If, for some reason, someone moves one or more of the drawings during the day, I get a prompt to either remove it or set the status to skip. I can't figure out how to enter this response into the batch file. Any ideas on this are greatly appreciated. TIA

 

You will probably need to generate a 'file' list - just before running a script. In DOS shell, you could generate the list by:
cd\your file path
dir *.dwg >drawing.lst
...
Then use drawing.lst as input in foreach loop..

Thanks Bob,
I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I was hoping to be able to build the project on Monday, start it running Monday night, and continue it each night. The number of dwg files is large, and it won't complete in one night. Since scriptpro labels them as "done", I'd like to be able to pick up where I left off the following night. Any other ideas on how to do this?

 

Not really. 'New' files could be there also..
Any way to break down the stack into smaller runs ?

Only other way I can think of is to modify my EC-Batch. Produces a script that can 'include' up to 10 scripts, or Lisp programs for each .dwg in multiple folders. Present script built just does 'open' ..work on dwg .. qsave, next..
But I could modify output script to include:
(if (findfile "next file on list")..run script or lisp)
...or such.

Don't know if lisp would be an answer to this or not. Scriptpro validates the project prior to running the actual script, and that's where it's hanging up on the missing files. I hope I didn't misunderstand your reply. Thanks again.

 

Yes,
That is the point. Scriptpro stores the project and file list. Therein lies the problem. It would need to 'refresh' the list of files, then run the script. All I'm saying is that (without using) Scriptpro at all, you could use EC-Batch to process all the .dwg's in multiple folders, and call up any script or lisp you want to run on them.

If you think it will do the job, I'll send you a copy (freebe).

Will it work on WinXP/ AutoCad 2K4?

 

You betcha.
Bob

 

Sounds good to
Thanks for the help!

 

Ok,
Coming your way.

Thanks Bob, but the files too big. The e-mail bounced. Can you post it in customer files?

 

You got another mailbox ?
I can't post in customer files, cause it's the 'real' thing.
Bob

 

Yeah. Let's try it at

Thanks again for your help.

 

OK
