Summary: NIRT scriptfile

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I have to write a NIRT script file but I don't know how to create such a file.
Does it have to have a specific extension ?
I tried with a text file but it didn't work.

Thank you for your help.

It sounds like you're running on Windows.  Or at least your testscript was
edited on Windows?

Semicolons shouldn't change anything unless you are parsing a
Windows-style text file.  The input file needs to have unix-style line
endings.  That also explains the need to add .TXT because several
text-editors on Windows (such as Wordpad and Notepad) automatically add
that to file names and then don't display the extension.

Message:
Thank you, finally it worked !

I had to use 
> nirt -s -f testscript.TXT .....

instead of
> nirt -s -f testscript ......

Second thing I had to adapt, I had to put semicolons at the end of the
command lines :

#testscript
dir 0 0 0;
s;
q;

In the documentation, it is shown without the semicolons.

Thank you.

It shouldn't need a specific extension, it is just a text file.  Have you
read the NIRT tutorial?  It's available at
http://brlcad.org/wiki/Documentation

If it doesn't work, please submit a bug report with your nirt script
included as an attachment (along with whatever steps you're using).
