TIP: Batch processing examples and AutoHotkey

[shaswin]

See some batch files (.bat) examples for batch processing in the ZIP attachment. Using the command CHCP 1252 in the batch makes it possible to use other extended characters (different code page in MS-DOS COMMAND application) as standard till the .bat/.cmd file is finished, so letters like ë, ä, ï, etc. in the FILENAME/FILEPATH will be allowed/recognised in the PLE batch processing.

Also the AutoHotkey v1.1 (Quick Reference | AutoHotkey v1) source code script examples for making PLE in- and output is attached as a ZIP-file. If you don't have the Export Communication PLE module (E0) you can use a virtual printer i.e. ImagePrinter Pro v6.3, where the licence is very cheap. In the AHK (AutoHotkey) script for PLE output we used the ImagePrinter Pro multi-page printing as PNG-file(s) and then importing all PNG-files with titles and a main index in a Word output file through a VBA macro.

Using AutoHotkey for PLE for making it a part of an automated computing chain is forbidden by EDS nowadays.
Using VBA macros in Excel and Word can automate a lot of things with automating reports to PDFs.

So, this information is made available as an example for how to make a good automated batch computing chain for other software programs than PLE.
