To start Facform under DOS |
At the DOS prompt,
Either enter:
C:> FACFORM
and the program will ask you for the name of your keyword file with
Keyword file name:
Type in the name of the keyword file you want, e.g.
facform\KCTkey.txt
Or enter:
C:> FACFORM keyfile
where keyfile is the name of your keyword file, e.g., KCTkey.txt
Or, for advanced users, enter:
C:> FACFORM keyfile outputfile keyword=value keyword=value ..
where
keyfile is the name of your keyword file,
outputfile (optional) is the name of the file to hold your formatted data,
keyword=value are keywords like those in the keyword file.
The keywords entered here take precedence over those in the keyword file.
For entries on the DOS command line blanks are used as separators. Blanks are not allowed within keywords. This is correct:
C:> FACFORM facform\KCTkey.txt KCTDAT.txt $SPOUTPUT=KCTSP.txt
But, $SPOUTPUT= KCTSP.txt is incorrect due to the blank between = and KCTSP.txt
keyword=details represents keyword lines like those included in a keyword file. The keywords given here take priority over those in the keyword file.
To include blanks in values, place them inside quotes.
The following is valid:
C:> FACFORM facform\KCTkey.txt $PRINT="This is displayed"
But, not valid due to the extra blanks, is:
C:> FACFORM facform\KCTkey.txt $PRINT=This is displayed
