[GRASS-dev] question about scripting platforms

[Michael Barton]

I¹m writing a paper that includes a discussion of GRASS scripting that we¹re
using to develop a suite of landscape evolution models. For that vast
audience who are MS Windows users, I was going to say that BASH shell
scripting is similar in a number of ways to using *.bat scripting in
Windows. This got me to wondering if it is possible to create a GRASS script
using a *.bat file for wingrass? I was also going to mention the option of
using a high-level scripting language like Python, and again wonder if it is
theoretically possible to also use Visual Basic to script in GRASS.

Could *.bat files and VB be used with GRASS or are there technical obstacles
to doing so?
