the batch file would repeat itself and continue to loop like this until the user
took some action to interrupt the playback, such as pressing the [End] key,
perhaps.
Finally, consider the contents of this RUN file called flawed.RUN:
Furgbump.XTF
wallsnip.XTF
rundat.RUN
runxtf.RUN
In the above example, playback of runxtf.RUN would never occur from
flawed.RUN because when Isis reaches rundat.RUN, program control
would transfer to rundat.RUN and not return to flawed.RUN when
rundat.RUN completes. (However, if the last line in rundat.RUN was
runxtf.RUN, then runxtf.RUN would be played back from rundat.RUN.) As
this example shows, Isis batch files can be daisy-chained but not nested.
To create an Isis batch file based on files in one directory
• At the DOS command prompt type
DIR *.{ext} /b > {filename} .RUN
where {ext} is a valid file type extension recognizable by Isis, > is a
redirection symbol, and {filename} is a valid Windows file name.
(The /b switch is for a bare listing so that you will get just the file
names — without size, date, or time.) For example,
DIR *.XTF /b > myXTFfiles.RUN
In the above example, myXTFfiles.RUN would contain a listing of
all the XTF files in the directory where you executed the DIR
command to redirect output to a file. Of course, you can also specify
DAT, SEG, TRA or any combination of files that Isis can read and
play back. Figure 3-5 shows an example of a RUN file created at the
DOS prompt.
