Examples

The following code will repeat analysis for all .nex files in the folder C:\Data.

Python

import nex
import os
directory = r"C:\Data"
for name in os.listdir(directory):
    if name.endswith(".nex"):
        fullPath = os.path.join(directory, name)
        doc = nex.OpenDocument(fullPath)
        if doc:
            nex.SelectAllEvents(doc)
            # run the analysis, save numerical results and close the file
            nex.ApplyTemplate(doc, "Autocorrelograms")
            nex.SaveNumResults(doc, fullPath + '.txt')
            nex.CloseDocument(doc)

NexScript

% repeat analysis for all .nex files in the folder
filefilter = "C:\Data1\*.nex"
n = GetFileCount(filefilter)
for i=1 to n
    name = GetFileName(i)
    doc = OpenDocument(name)
    if doc > 0
        % run the analysis, save numerical results and close the file
        ApplyTemplate(doc, "Autocorrelograms")
        SaveNumResults(doc, name + ".txt")
        CloseDocument(doc)
    end
end
