See some batch files (.bat) examples for batch processing in the ZIP attachment. Using the command
CHCP 1252 in the batch makes it possible to use other extended characters (different code page in
MS-DOS COMMAND application) as standard till the .bat/.cmd file is finished, so letters like ë, ä, ï, etc. in the FILENAME/FILEPATH will be allowed/recognised in the
PLE batch processing.
Also the AutoHotkey v1.1 (
Quick Reference | AutoHotkey v1) source code script examples for making PLE in- and output is attached as a ZIP-file. If you don't have the Export Communication PLE module (E0) you can use a virtual printer i.e.
ImagePrinter Pro v6.3, where the licence is very cheap. In the AHK (AutoHotkey) script for PLE output we used the ImagePrinter Pro multi-page printing as PNG-file(s) and then importing all PNG-files with titles and a main index in a Word output file through a VBA macro.
Using AutoHotkey for PLE for making it a part of an automated computing chain is forbidden by EDS nowadays.
Using VBA macros in Excel and Word can automate a lot of things with automating reports to PDFs.
So, this information is made available as an example for how to make a good automated batch computing chain for other software programs than PLE.

or have a discussion with a colleague) and it increases the productivity of the engineer a lot. I did once almost 8000 different PLE configurations calculation in 48 hours without any interaction with the PLE-program and the PLE-computer before the Gereral Terms And Condtions was written with a different script than above. I only monitored it through VPN with a laptop at home if it stopped at office or some error happened, but it didn't stop the calculations and all errors had been mitigated before with the script. It created also PDF reports. If AutoHotkey is forbidden then a mouse and keyboard should also be forbidden, I think
