"Run a Script" Parameter List

Hi There,

I am trying to pipe the outputs of a task into another app using the "Run a script" post action.

The documentation : Help: Clarity 2024.1 for Revit (and AutoCAD)... 

... mentions, "(Optional) Temporary file containing a list of the files processed by the task".

How would I get the name of this parameter? The documentation is a bit lacking in this space.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Paul,

With a Batch file, you can get access to each of the input arguments by number...

So the 5th parameter is the path to the temporary file that contains the list of files from the task with the %5 batch file.

Sample echo:

@echo off
echo Inside the script, running. Can you see this in the log?
echo Running Script >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
echo Arguments Are: >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
echo [1]: %1 >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
echo [2]: %2 >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
echo [3]: %3 >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
echo [4]: %4 >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
echo [5]: %5 >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
IF NOT EXIST %5 GOTO :done
echo We have file(s) also: >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
type %5 >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt


:done
echo Exiting >> C:\Temp\PostLog.txt
