Scripting and Batch Processing
For example, if a script was recorded with the current-time indicator at 0:10:00, selecting
this option applies the script at the current cursor position, plus 10 seconds: If the current
cursor position is at 0:05:00, the script would start at 0:15:00.
If you’re likely to run a script at the current cursor position, record the script with the
cursor at a 0:00:00 position, and select this option when you run it.
Script Type Indicates the type of script selected in the scripts list: Script Starts From
Scratch works with all files closed; Script Works On Current Wave works on an entire
waveform; and Script Works On Highlighted Section works on the selected part of a
waveform.
Editing scripts
The Edit Script File option in the Scripts dialog box lets you modify existing scripts as text
in a Windows Notepad file.
To edit a script:
1 In Edit View, choose Options > Scripts. The Script Collections area displays the name
of the currently opened script collection. If the collection hasn’t been named, the name
New Collection appears.
2 If the script collection you want isn’t open, click Open/New Collection. Navigate to the
collection (*.scp) file you want, and double-click it.
3 Select the script you want to edit from the list.
4 Click Edit Script File. The collection file opens in Windows Notepad.
5 Scroll through the file to find the script you want.
6 Make the changes you want, and save the file.
