RE: [Bug-gnubg] batch import for gnu-bg (windows version)

[Ian Shaw]

As far as I know, GnuBg doesn't yet import and export files as a batch.

You can run a series of commands from a text file with the command "load 
command myfile". No $ or other marker is required.

I have written DOS batch files to analyse matches in one directory and save the 
results in another. See this post 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnubg/2003-01/msg00496.html

Hope this helps with what you are trying to do.

Hello. 
I have just downloaded and installed gnubg-0.13.0 for Windows. I am trying to 
use the batch import option available in the command line version to no avail.
I tried with this batch file: 
$set matchid MAEKAAAAAAAA 
$set board HdsOwADUPYMBBg 
$play 
$save game output.txt 
(tried with and without the $ signs), using both \r\n and \r only as line 
endings. 
When I tried without the dollar signs I got the following message: 
input.txt: parse error, expecting '$' or 'error' or ''('' 
input.txt: warning: no backgammon games in SGF file. 
Subsequently I added the S signs on the beginning of every line and got the 
following message: 
input.txt: illegal character in SGF file 
imput.txt: warning: no backgammon games in SGF file 
I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. 
I await your response. Thanks in advance, 
Yoav
