How to use macros

[Mickey Mortimer]

Hi everyone.  I'm trying to figure out how to use macros in TNT.  I have the stats.run file in the same directory as TNT and my matrix file.

If I type "stats" after running an analysis, TNT gives the error message-

Unknown command: stats
stats;
      ^

If I type "run stats", TNT gives the error message-

Can't open C:\Windows\system32\stats
run stats;
           ^
TNT is not in the Windows folder, it's in another folder in the C drive, so I'm not sure why that happens.  Similarly, if I type "proc stats" I get-

Can't open C:\Windows\system32\stats
proc stats;
          ^

What am I missing?  Thanks for any help!

Hi Mickey

The problem you are having is that tnt thinks you are in another directory. to navigate to another directory, just use the old call directory command cd. So, if TNT scripts are is in c:\programs\tnt\scripts you should type

cd c:\programs\tnt\scripts

and them you will be able to call the script typing its name. Also, cd.. is used to go back a directory, just like it used to be in MSDOS

I strongly recommend to my students to install TNT in a directory with a very short path (such as C:\tnt) because longer routes will cause problems using some scripts

hope this helps.

I have always initiated my scripts by including the file extension. Maybe that might help?

e.g. 

proc stats.run;

Best of luck!

Best,

Thanks to both of you!  Using the cd command and the format of "proc.stats.run" both worked and it was a success.
