Using run-alphamelts.command (alphaMELTS 2.0 release onwards)

[Paula]

Synopsis

run-alphamelts.command [-h] [-f input_file] [-m melts_file] [-n file_name] [-t table_file] [-b [batch_file] | -a [batch_file]] [-p output_path] [-l log_file] [-c column_file] [-o output_file] [-d] [-x]

Square brackets surround each optional part in the command line and the pipe (|) denotes 'or'. (Do not actually type [, ] or |.) Each option is described below in Command line switches. The order of the switches should not matter except that '-h' ('help!') should be used alone and will be ignored if it follows any others.

Note that if you double-click the run-alphamelts.command link (it is recommended that you click the link and not the actual script in installation_folder) you will generally need to make an output_path folder and use it to set the '-p' switch, else the output files will end up in the links_folder.

Command line switches

-h
If this switch is first, run-alphamelts.command prints the list of all available switches, with a brief explanation of each entry, and then either aborts or asks the user if they wish to start again (depending whether run-alphamelts.command was invoked from the terminal command line or link to it was double-clicked). It also prints the version number of the script and which versions of the alphamelts execitable it should be compatible with.
