call and make changes to script

[ZCY4444]

Hello,

I want to call a script and make changes to some of the numbers in that script and run it.

Can I just call the script without running it using System Exec vi?? I can separate the numbers from the script output after running it with system exec. But I want to get the default numbers in the script without running it. 

And after I get the numbers, how can I replace the numbers with whatever the numeric control input? 

Thanks a lot

What kind of script are you talking about?

Matlab script?

Java script?

a batch file?

It is a batch file. The vi calls another software and execute the script.

Thanks

If it is a batch file, then you must use system Exec to run it.  Unless there is some other method I have never heard of.

Hello ZCY 4444,

It seems like what you're looking for is a way to edit the script, not "call" it.  Batch files are just text files, so you should be able to read it as such, modify the strings, and resave as needed.

I'd recommend adding one or more arguments to the script that override these "numbers" though, rather than reading and replacing the file.
