generate multi in fet-cl

[Peter Johnson]

Hey guys

I want to run fet-cl and generate some outputs in single execution (like fet.exe); I checked all parameters but could not find any parameter to assign.

what is the solution?

thank you

fet-cl will generate a single timetable. You need to make a script, to run fet-cl more times, each time with a different output directory.

I think you can run it multiple times
If you use Linux(-like) operation system:

Code Select Expand

for f in `seq 1 10`; do fet-cl --outputdir=/home/fet/output/`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`/${f} ... ; done

Yes. Be careful: the beginning random seed is taken as the number of seconds since 1970. If your timetable takes less than 1 second, you might get the same timetable on adjacent generations. So you might need to also alter the starting random seed command-line parameter.

I need to do it in fet-cl and get the number of output as parameter (I need to run fet-cl at night and check outputs in the morning), do I have to change code a lot?

nice, thanks, but I am a Windows user

Oh, indeed. You can use $RANDOM (if you use bash) or if you've jot utility: jot -r 1 1 100000000.

fet.cpp in interface/ . Easy and little changes, I think.

I assume the Powershell has for-loop feature: https://ss64.com/ps/for.html
The "old" command.com (cmd.exe) has for-loop too: https://ss64.com/nt/for2.html
I hope the following should work:

Code Select Expand

FOR %%V IN (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) DO fet-cl --datadir=%%V ...
I think it's simplier than modify the FET's code and rebuild.
