Click the image above to open a new window of a sample Meta-Update command.

It is recommended that you use an editor that you are familiar with to view and edit script files. If you are not familiar with any editor, you may use Windows Notepad.

Meta-Update runs in a Windows "Command Prompt" or UNIX shell. Scripts and files developed and referenced may be interchanged freely between Window and UNIX.

• manually in a shell or command prompt
• in a filter with the $PROCESS$ actions
• through a batch file or shell or perl script

This short PowerPoint show will show you how to set up a Windows Command prompt to develop and test Meta-Update scripts with.

The Script Library is a great way to introduce yourself to Meta-Update. Please feel free to browse, edit, and run these scripts.
