The Script Command Execution dialog provides a location for the user to enter script commands manually, or to load auxiliary files containing Script and/or Data sections previously defined. This dialog is opened by pressing the Script button in the Log ribbon group on the Tools ribbon tab.
Loading Auxiliary Files
The first feature of the Script Command Execution dialog is that it provides a location to load previously defined auxiliary files for the currently loaded case. The Auxiliary File menu provides a location for loading an auxiliary file, or simply validating that the Script and/or Data sections of an Auxiliary file are correctly formatted in the file.
The Quick Aux option allows you to open the Quick Auxiliary Files dialog for creating a list of auxiliary files to be opened and processed en masse.
Lastly, you can export the Simulator recognized objects and object fields using the Export Field Names option. You can export the field names to a text for or to Excel.
Running Script Commands
The second feature of the Script Command Execution dialog is that you can run script commands manually. To run a script command, type the command into the display, and press the Execute button. Note that if the Execute on ENTER key option is checked, the command will also be processed when ENTER is pressed. Note that similar to script command syntax in the Script section of auxiliary files, script commands must be ended with a semi-colon (;) in the Script Command Execution dialog as well.
You can enter multiple script commands to be processed in sequence in this display. To do so, you must uncheck the option Execute on ENTER key. Then you can press enter after each script command to move to the next line and enter another command. Use the Execute button to process the sequence of script commands.
If you are running a sequence of script commands and wish to abort the run, use the Abort button.
If you wish to view the message log while script commands are processing, open the log using the Show Log button.
See the Auxiliary Files and Script Commands topic for more details about available script commands and auxiliary data formats.
