[esp-r] Re: Perl script

[victor bunster]

Thanks for all the feedback, its helping me a lot.


I have a couple of more basic questions, I'm not used to ESP-r scripting
"environment" (I come from other software with embedded scripting
functionality, like ecotect or rhino). I have noticed that many of the
scripts use the C:\ shell, but I have a couple of problems to advance in
that path.
First, I don't know how to run the software's commands, is there any
document with the methods or an API guide? for example if I want to create a
zone, how do I call that method from inside the shell?
The other question regards the possibility to write longer code, for
example: create a zone, then 10 windows, assign material, etc... all in one
block. I think this should be done in Perl (or Python) but I don't know how
to run it and connected to ESP-r methods.

 Thanks again,

Victor
