Manually, the program does everything I need. Are there instructions for creating a batch program that will;
- initiate the program - select the Method - select all the files in a particular directory - start batch - close program |

The short answer is, no. At the moment the program cannot be run in a batch mode. But it is a feature I have wanted to include for a while. I have been thinking about automating a batch on a folder or a list of files based on a method list saved to a file. Can you tell me more about the problems you want to solve by using automatic batch runs? |

I am an EDI Consultant (EDI is Electronic Data Interchange). The EDI software I use creates system generated file names that my client cannot process. I have to manually rename the files into a predetermined format, then send them to my client. The EDI software can execute programs (.bat) as part of it's process control system, but I have been unsuccessful in writing a standard batch program that properly renames these files (I'm not a programmer). Your program accomplishes the renaming task quite nicely, but I have to point and click to make it work. With a batch program I can incorporate your program into the automated process control events of the EDI software. These events would run on a daily basis. |

I will see what I can do to make batch automation features in a later version. I hope you will test it out and give me some feedback when I get around to implement and release it. |
