Tools Supported: DFTInsight, FastScan, and FlexTest
Scope: All modes
Usage
DOFile filename
Description
Executes the commands contained within the specified file.
The Dofile command sequentially executes the commands contained in a
specified file. This command is especially useful when you must issue a series of
commands. Rather than executing each command separately, you can place them
into a file in their desired order and then execute them by using the Dofile
command. You can also place comment lines in the file by starting the line with a
double slash (//); the tool handles these lines as comments and ignores them.
The Dofile command sends each command expression (in order) to the tool which
in turn displays each command line from the file before executing it. If the tool
encounters an error due to any command, the Dofile command stops its execution
and displays an error message. You can enable the Dofile command to continue
regardless of errors by setting the Set Dofile Abort command to Off.
Arguments
•filename
A required string that specifies the name of the file that contains the commands
that you want the tool to execute.
