Powershell as batch controller

A powershell batch file to load a project, simulate it and save it would look like:

...

Code Block
languagepowershell
 $mwo = new-object -comobject "AWR.MWOffice"
sleep(5)
$mwo.Open($input_file)
$mwo.Project.Simulate()
$mwo.Project.SaveAs($output_file)
$mwo.Project.Close()
$mwo.Quit()


Assuming the variables $input_file and $output_file have been previously defined.
