Need a batch file with Bayeselo

[Charly]

Hi,

First of all, let me tell you that I'm not at all a programmer.

I would like to know if it is possible to have a batch file to run automatically Bayeselo (version Jan 30 2007).

ususally, I launch Bayeselo manually like that :

a) readpgn xxxxxx.pgn
b) elo
c) mm
d) exactdist
e) offset 2600 Ruffian 1.0.5
f) ratings
g) ratings>Elo.txt

It would be very user friendly and less time consuming to have that automated for my rating list.

Many thanks for helping.

This is what I use:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash

(
echo readpgn results.pgn
echo elo
echo mm
echo ratings
echo x
echo x
) | bayeselo

But results.pgn (after readpgn) could also be made a parameter.

I use the following Perl script:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

if ($#ARGV >= 0) {
   open ELO, "| bayeselo";
   print ELO "prompt off\n";
   foreach (@ARGV) { print ELO "readpgn $_\n"; }
   print ELO "elo
      mm
      offset 2100
      ratings
      los
      ";
   close ELO;
}

Don't know if that helps at all though...?

Hi,

just enter all your bayeselo commands in a plain file and then pipe it into bayeselo as input.

if you name the file input.txt then you would simply run

bayeselo < input.txt

Nice trick -- I've always had input.txt ready, and then copied and pasted into bayeselo.

Here is another method.
Required files:
1. bayeselo.exe
2. your pgn file say zzz.pgn
Have a look at the comments after :: in the batch file.

Create a batch file say get_elo.bat then paste the following.

Code: Select all

:: (1) Modify your pgn filename here, say zzz.pgn
set "PGNFILE=zzz.pgn"


:: (2) Set your output rating file, say Elo.txt
set "OUTFILE=Elo.txt"


:: (2.1) Set the reference engine and its offset
set "REF_ENGINE_AND_OFFSET=offset 2600 Ruffian 1.0.5"


:: (3)Create the temp file elo_param.txt and write commands to this file
echo. 2>elo_param.txt
echo readpgn %PGNFILE%>elo_param.txt
echo elo>>elo_param.txt
echo mm>>elo_param.txt
echo exactdist>>elo_param.txt
echo %REF_ENGINE_AND_OFFSET%>>elo_param.txt
echo ratings>>elo_param.txt
echo ratings ^>%OUTFILE%>>elo_param.txt
echo x>>elo_param.txt
echo x>>elo_param.txt


:: (4) Run bayeselo
bayeselo <elo_param.txt


:: (5) Delete the temp file
if exist elo_param.txt del elo_param.txt


:: (6) See the output in console before exiting
pause

To edit the batch file, right-click the file then click edit.
I tested this on windows 7.
