Never too old to learn...              I never knew it either, but the point of this thread was never how to       convert but that CoPilot could write a script for you from scratch.              But... and this is critical... CoPilot uses the same iterative process we       all used when we learned our 1st programming language (Fortran IV for me).              Why do you think I provided the back-and-forth turns in the OP?              It's because the topic was NOT the calculation - but the process of getting       CoPilot to write the batch scripts for you - which is an iterative process.               100 You ask CoPilot to write a batch script for you        200 CoPilot cheerfully produces crap        300 You test that crap and just post the output! <=== this is CRITICAL!        400 CoPilot goes back to 200 to produce (better) crap.              The huge advantage of this process is you only need to use human language       in the original request. The rest is simply a post of the output produced.              That's really IMPORTANT.       I don't think anyone understood that based on the responses to date.              This is super EFFICIENT!        a. You post your request and CoPilot produces a script        b. You test it & only paste back the OUTPUT of that script! <=== KEY!        c. Then CoPilot INTERPRETS that output - and fixes the script!              If people didn't get that critical point, then I was remiss in the OP.              The critical information I'm imparting to you here, is NOT what the script       does (as I would only have posted the result if that is what mattered).              The critical information is how EFFICIENT the process is.        1. You only have to speak to the robot as a human in the 1st turn.        2. The rest of the time you only need to post the script output.              That's really efficiently kewl don't you think!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
