Using Command-Line Syntax for <Lists> of Entities
Using Command-Line Syntax for <lists> of Entities
In some circumstances it can be much quicker to use command-line input (in the dialogue box) to define <lists> of entities. A typical example might be when you want to process an explicit list of known elements, or a well defined range.
|
Typical command-line syntax to perform an operation is: |
|
|
|
Command (command) (command) <list of entities> |
| for example: | |
| /WRITE NODES 21 to 100 | |
|
The valid syntax for a <list> of integers defining a range of entities is: |
|||||
| Single values | 12 | 20 | 200 | -1 | |
|
a TO b (STEP c) |
1 TO 100, | -20 TO 40 STEP 4, | 1000 TO 100 STEP -2 | ||
|
All in context ALL or * |
|||||
|
Range limits |
FIRST and LAST | ||||
|
All of these input types above may be mixed at will on a single line. Continuation lines, using \ , may be used in the same way as for command words. You can mix screen-menu and command-line input at will. |
