Link or automatically start Direct RT input files (case 405)

    Link or automatically start Direct RT input files (case 405)

    Hi

    I am trying to have a second Direct RT input file run immediately after a first Direct RT input file finishes. I thought the best way to do this would be with a batch file?

    I tried the coding suggested in the manual and saved it as a .bat file (using Notepad). Below is my version of the coding:

    ExecuteDRT.exe \1,1,c:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\CCotelussier\NOMS\NOMS_V3_Final\NOMS-V1\Part1\V1_NOMS_DirectRT_PT1.csv,all
    ExecuteDRT.exe \1,1,c:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\CCotelussier\NOMS\NOMS_V3_Final\NOMS-V1\Part2\V1_NOMS_DirectRT_PT2.csv,all

    When I double-click the .bat file nothing happens!

    Just wondering if I am doing this right or if you can suggest any other way of having a second input automatically run once a first input file has completed?

    Many thanks for your time and help,

    Carolyn

    Just had a look with my IT services and seems the problem was I needed to put C:\DirectRT\ in front of the line of code (i.e. providing the file location of ExecuteDRT.exe in the .bat file) - working perfectly now!

    or direct me to a tutorial on how to do this? I saw the "quick" info in the manual, but I am far from being a computer programmer, and I need to figure this out ASAP.
