Supressing Null in a Do-loop












2












$begingroup$


I'm trying write a Do-loop that creates batch files that run .exe files with input parameters. I have to rename to *.bat since Export doesn't like outputting batch files. The output produces batch files with the text of the form:



Analyze.exe Calibration_# Null [input parameters]


which doesn't run due to the Null.



How would I go about suppressing the Null in this case?



I'd also like to change input parameters, but it seems that Do likes inserting Null. I've tried DeleteCases Null, but it's baked into the string, so that doesn't work. 



Do[

  shotN = n;



  DeleteFile[{"1.bat", "2.bat"}];

  Export["1.txt", 

    StringReplace[

      "Analyze1.exe Calibration_xx [input parameters]",  

      "xx" -> ToString[shotN]]];



  Export["2.txt", 

    StringReplace[

     "Analyze2.exe Calibration_xx [input parameters]", 

     "xx" -> ToString[shotN]]];



 RenameFile["1.txt", "1.bat"];

 RenameFile["2.txt", "2.bat"];



 Run["1.bat"]

 Run["2.bat"]



 , {n, 1, 10}]





export

    Try Export["filename.bat", <<string>>, "Text"]. That should get you rid of the need for Rename. And separate the Runs by semicoli (;).

The Runs need to be separated by semicoli. Moreover, you may use the export filter "Text" independent of the file type. This removes the need (i) to delete potentially preexistent files and (ii) to rename the files after export. Also StringJoin (<>) might become your friend.



Do[

 Export[

  "1.bat", 

  "Analyze1.exe Calibration_" <> ToString[n] <> " [input parameters]",

  "Text"];

 Export[

  "2.bat", 

  "Analyze2.exe Calibration_" <> ToString[n] <> " [input parameters]",

  "Text"];

 Run["1.bat"];

 Run["2.bat"];

 , {n, 1, 10}]

            La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
