Sorry; I've been replying to the wrong message and my nfbtrans comments were going out as "continuous beep" comments. Must be time to quit!!! so here's the latest under the right subject heading. -- Cheryl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2003 13:59:56 -0500 (CDT) From: Cheryl Homiak <chomiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: speakup <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Subject: Re: Continuous speaker beep Ok, found a much simpler way to do this, not using expect. Oh well, but I did learn a lot playing around with expect. The only drawback is that I haven't found a way from the command line or the nfbtrans.cnf file to have a wild card for the output file; you can use *.brf for your input file but all those files will be written together to one *.txt file. So I did the following: (1) added or edited the following in /usr/local/lib/nfbtrans.cnf # set translation mode to back-translate by default tm=3 # automatic .txt output file for .brf input file on=2 # eliminates prompt for a file being overwritten ow=1 # stops most progress output; shows current output file qm=1 Then I ran the following short script: for i in *.brf do nfbtrans $i done exit 0 -- Cheryl
