WUFI 4.0.1.208 Batch Help File Recommendations
I think the help file for Batch Job should be clarified a little more for users who are not computer experts. The line:
WUFI ProjectFileName [Options]
can be easily missunderstood to mean type WUFI or WUFI.exe to the run command or to a .BAT file to start the program. However, one must type the full path because the durrent install process does not register WUFI.exe with the operating system (I'm not sure I would recommend registering since I often have multiple versions on one machine). So we need to type:
C:\Program Files\IBP-Software\WUFI4\WUFI.exe
This does not work either because command line execution does not like spaces. We must use the old 8.3 shorthand:
C:\Progra~1\IBP-Software\WUFI4\WUFI.exe
This also means that ProjectFilePath/Name can not have spaces either. I think including this information in the help file would be very useful. Perhaps all you need is a full sample command line and a note about spaces in file and path names.

Re: WUFI 4.0.1.208 Batch Help File Recommendations
But only if you have installed WUFI there and only if you have an english system. A german system has "C:\Programme\IBP-Software" by default so you see it´s not so easy to write this for every user. So we have then to write "%INSTDIR%/WUFI4\WUFI.exe" where %INSTDIR% is the installation path. But then i think it is not easier to explain this "not computer experts"Ned Lyon wrote:I think the help file for Batch Job should be clarified a little more for users who are not computer experts.

These quotes will work: "C:\Program Files\IBP-Software\WUFI4\WUFI.exe" -c -fNed Lyon wrote: This does not work either because command line execution does not like spaces. We must use the old 8.3 shorthand:

Thank you for thinking about WUFI improvements

Batch example
Hello,
I managed to open my Wufi file with a cmd file. However with the command -C after the filename, it does not start any calculation.
Can someone please post an existing batch file that is executing a calculation?
I use WuFi Pro 5.1
Thanks, Michael

Hi Michael,
for me this line works:
Make sure, that the paths are existing and if there is a space in the path, use question marks. See also the online help of Wufi, topic: batch
Best regards,
Christian
for me this line works:
Code: Select all
"c:\Program Files\IBP-Software\WUFI5\Wufi.exe" "d:\flat roof.w5p" -c
Best regards,
Christian
Hallo Christian,
nochmal eine kurze Frage zum code für die Batch-Datei:
Wie schreibe ich rein, dass WuFi mehrere *.wp5 Dateien nacheinander berechnen soll?
Hier mein bisheriger code (alles in einer Zeile):
"C:\Programme Arbeit\IBP-Software\WUFI5\WUFI.exe" "D:\Wufi Ripa\101209 - Ripa Varianten\121023-variations A.w5p" "D:\Wufi Ripa\101209 - Ripa Varianten\121023-variations B.w5p" "D:\Wufi Ripa\101209 - Ripa Varianten\121023-variations C.w5p" "D:\Wufi Ripa\101209 - Ripa Varianten\121023-variations D.w5p" "D:\Wufi Ripa\101209 - Ripa Varianten\121023-variations E.w5p" "D:\Wufi Ripa\101209 - Ripa Varianten\121023-variations F.w5p" -C -s
Bis jetzt berechnet er die erste Datei und stoppt dann.
Danke und Gruss,
Michael

Hallo Michael,
die batch-Datei muss für jede w5p eine eigene Zeile enthalten...

Hallo Michael,
ich glaube dass der gennante Code keine Sinn macht. Es wird zwar gerechnet, aber keinerlei Ergenisse gespeichert oder exportiert. Darum:
