Running batch commands in Mac?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 27	Hello, I know that I can use batch commands in Windows to string multiple Inquisit experiments together. Is is possible to do the same on a Mac? Batch commands won't work on Mac, but there are roughly equivalent ways of stringing together multiple experiments by using alternative programs. My question is, will the native Inquisit commands that work with batch commands also work with the alternative programs on a Mac? Thanks, Tags batch

You'll find the command line syntax required to invoke Inquisit on Macs covered in the "How to Launch Inquisit Using Command Line Parameters" topic in the documentation: The following runs an IAT script using a subject id of 1000 and group id of 2 on a Windows command line. "C:\Program Files\Millisecond Software\Inquisit 4\Inquisit.exe" "C:\MyInquisitScripts\IAT.iqx" -s 1000 -g 2 The following does the same on a Mac terminal prompt "/Applications/Inquisit.app" "~/myscripts/IAT.iqx" -s 1000 -g 2
