GDSFILT Engine - Response file

You can run the gdsfilte.exe using a response file instead of one long command line. It can be useful when you need to run a very long command line.

Example

First you will need to create a simple batch file which will execute the gdsfilte.exe command line with the response file name. You can put the full path to the response file.

c:\wcad\qckbool\gdsfilte "c:\wcad\gdsfilt\examples\response.txt"

The response file contains all of the command line arguments. By preceding the response file with the @ sign the program knows this is a file that should be opened and processed.

The response file response.txt looks like:

C:\wcad\Gdsfilt\EXAMPLES\demo5.gds C:\wcad\Gdsfilt\EXAMPLES\out.gds = -unixcmdline -add demo5.gds demo5.gds demo5.gds demo5.gds -combine TOP = = = = -offset 0,0 3100,3100 0,3100 3100,0 -log:C:\wcad\Gdsfilt\EXAMPLES\log.log

In this example, we are merging demo5.gds 4 times, each time with a different offset.
You can refer to the command line page to see what each command line argument does.
