[Scid-users] Is there a way to do scripting or batch processing?

[Thomas M. <tm...@sp...>]

Hi,

Are there any scripting or batch processing functions in scid?
For example:

1.  You have a pgn file  of thousands of chess positions from games, but
not the games themselves. Say like a file containing tactical positions
from famous games.  You want to want to search for those positions in
your normal big database because you want to play through the games
completely and not just solve the positions as problems.
But you might not want to do this individually for each position. It
might take a long time.
Can that be scripted or batch processed?

Basically a for next loop  that selects the start position of tactical
position from the pgn file, then searches for the position in the big
database, and saves it into a new database.

Can that be done with scid?
Thanks
