WordGen batch mode command syntax (for an example batch file click here): |
| option [parameters] | //explanation |
| -show | //write options to screen |
| -reset | //set all values to default (** see below) |
| -language [1-4] | //language: Dutch(1) English(2) French(3) German(4) |
| -f [filename] | //read parameters from file (pmf file, without extension!) |
| -w [0-1] | //switch between non-words (0) / words (1) |
| -t [0-1] | //switch between checking (0) and generation (1) |
| -l [n_strings][outputfilename][details (true-false)] | //'Generate List' options |
| -n [number of letters] | //number of letters |
| -bigramF [minimum][maximum] | //constrain min and max bigram freq |
| -celexF [minimum][maximum] | //constrain min and max celex / lexique freq |
| -neighbor [minimum][maximum] | //constrain min and max number of neigbours |
| -wildcard [wildcard] | //using wildcard |
| -heuristic | //using heuristic |
| -forbidden [forbidden letters] | //exclude forbidden letters |
| -legal [frequency] | //min legal bigram frequency constraint |
| -posbigramF [frequency] | //minimum positional bigram frequency constraint |
//turning off
options and constraints: without arguments!
-lx
-bigramFx
-celexFx
-neighborx
-wildcardx
-heuristicx
-forbiddenx
-legalx
-posbigramFx
//execute: all further options on the same input line are discarded
-go!
| IMPORTANT notes on WordGen syntax: |
+ if a constraint is set, it stays on for the next go! command, unless it is reset (using the -reset or -[constraint]x command)
+ the constraint settings of the batch system and the GUI are stored seperately. Thus, clicking constraints with the mouse does not have an impact on the batch system.
+ batch files can contain line breaks. In the command line box in the GUI, everything should be entered as a single line of text.
For example, the following command should be entered to write 10 English 4-letter nonwords, having 2 to 7 neighbours, to a file called output.prn on the c:\drive:
-language 2 -w 0 -n 4 -neighbor 2 7 -l 10 c:\output.prn true -show go!
+ do not use spaces in filenames (not yet...)
+ when wwg encounters an error, it continues command line processing
