Running Multiple PFF Files

Post by Guest »

How can I run a series of pff files in a dos bat file, where the first pff has to finish before the second pff starts, so one so fourth.

The problem that I am facing it that I have four edit programs which have to be run sequentially since the second uses the output of the previous, etc.

Best regards

Firstly, there's a Windows-based tool that will allow you to do this. Check out the CSPro Production Runner here:

However, if you need to run the files from the DOS command line, you can use the runwait program that's in the CSPro installation folder. For example, if you have to run edits on two files you would write:
"C:\Program Files\CSPro 5.0\runwait" "C:\Program Files\CSPro 5.0\csbatch" file1.pff
"C:\Program Files\CSPro 5.0\runwait" "C:\Program Files\CSPro 5.0\csbatch" file2.pff
