Note

How to specify script names.

When the script name is specified as "MyScript", for example:

RunScript("MyScript")

NeuroExplorer will use the following script file

C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\NeuroExplorer 5\Scripts\MyScript.nsc

(where <USER> is your Windows user name).

You can also specify the script name relative to the main scripts folder

C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\NeuroExplorer 5\Scripts

For example, the script line

RunScript("Grant\MyScript.nsc")

means that the script file

C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\NeuroExplorer 5\Scripts\Grant\MyScript.nsc

will be used.

Finally, you can specify the absolute path of the script file:

RunScript("C:\MyScripts\Script.nsc")

In Python, you can run another Python script by defining a function and using import statement.

For example, if you have a script file MyScript1.py with the following contents:

def MyFunction():
   print('in MyFunction')

then, in another script file (in the same directory) you can call MyFunction using the following code:

from MyScript1 import MyFunction
MyFunction()

You can also run NexScript script from a Python script:

nex.RunScript('AnotherScript')
nex.RunScript('\\Grant\\AnotherScript.nsc')
nex.RunScript(r'C:\MyScripts\Grant\AnotherScript.nsc')

import nex
# run NexScript
nex.RunScript(r'C:\Data\Scripts\ModifyTemplate.nsc')

RunScript("MyOtherScript")
