Hi,

I would like to execute a very basic labeling task repeatedly.

Using either Windows or Linux COMMAND lines, I'd like to

1. make a label  (only TXT, no need for BMP)

2. run the label program.

For number 1, I figured out that I can update the .LSL file from the Command line. (txs to the forum entry http://www.light-scribe.us/discussionBoards/index.aspx?c=24&boardid=190&g=posts&page=-1&t=5408 )

For number 2, I want to run the label program from a Command line so that it's automated.

There's an AutoPrint.CPP (txs to the same previous forum), however, that program assumes that the label will be made from Bitmap(BMP) file, whereas I only need to make a TXT label,

since TXT is very easy to update automatically.

By TXT I mean that the label will be of this format:

Version 1. Date: June 8, 2011. One a weekly basis, my program would update this content (maybe in the .LSL) to say, Version 2, Date: June 10, 2011. So the label on the new disk would have this new date.

Thanks in Advance for your help

Hi !

After modifying the XML Code in "LS Template Playlist - Full Disk.lst" to add the Track List Text, the Playlist Beta executes something similar to the following:

 C:\Windows>ECHO "C:\Users\Owner\LightScibe Labels\Test Labels\Z LS Template Playlist Labels\LS Template Playlist
- Full Disk.lst"
"C:\Users\Owner\LightScibe Labels\Test Labels\Z LS Template Playlist Labels\LS Template Playlist - Full Disk.lst"

This is done to let the LS Template Labeler start.

This is a great first step.

It shows that the playlist reads the .LST file , so number would work.

What is the next command after this?

i.e. how do I call the LS Template Labeler start command from the DOS prompt (and tell it to read my  .LST file)

Thanks again, cimofj2

These are te only tests I ever ran!

 Superb. That command worked.

 It will pop-up the dialog box with the correct text.

 Then u have to press preview and print and print it.

 Is there a way for it to just run and not have the dialog box pop-up at all ? Thanks again.
