Filename Appendix

 

There are several different platforms which WinBatch and its utilities may be run on. When a file name is generated, it is made up of four or five characters which specify WHAT the file is, three characters which specify which platform the PC is running under and an .EXE or .DLL file extension.

 

File names are important in these areas:

 

1. Running WinBatch scripts.

WinBatch scripts are text files the WinBatch interpreter translates into action. To do this from a program launcher such as the Run commandline, the file names of WinBatch has to be entered first followed by a space and the name of a script.

Example:

 

"Run" from theTask Bar produces this dialog:

2. Compiling WinBatch files with WinBatch Compiler.

If you have the WinBatch Compiler, you have the option of including in the executable batch file all, or just the minimum, number of files WinBatch needs to run a particular script. The Compiler includes selection dialogs for choosing options. The file name tables are here for general information.

 

3. Using Accessories.

WinBatch comes with a window position and name grabber called the Window Information Utility. Finally, WinBatch comes with a Dialog Editor. File names are used to run these.
