General Overview
Global Mapper script files allow the user to create custom batch processes that make use of the functionality
built in to Global Mapper. From a script, one can import data in any of the numerous formats supported by
the software, reproject that data if desired, and export it to a new file.
Global Mapper script files consist of a series of command lines. Each command line begins with a command.
A series of parameter/value pairs should follow the command. These pairs should be written as
parameter=value. No spaces should exist before or after the equal sign. Individual parameter/value pairs
should be separated by spaces. If a pair requires spaces internal to the value, quotes may be used around the
entire value. For example, for a filename with spaces, the pair could look like FILENAME="c:\\my
documents\\test.tif".
Command lines typically consist of one line each. To extend a command to another line, use the backslash
character (\) at the end of the line. There are a few exceptions to this, including the DEFINE_PROJ and
DEFINE_SHAPE commands and the looping functionality provided by the DIR_LOOP_START and
DIR_LOOP_END commands.
Batch Mode Operation
You can run a Global Mapper script file automatically be passing it on the command line to the Global
Mapper .exe file. The script file will be run with no user interface displayed and Global Mapper will
immediately exit when the script file completes processing. This allows you to easily run Global Mapper
scripts from another application or from a DOS batch file. Note that your script files need to have an extension
of .gms for this to work.
Comments
Any lines that begin with the forward slash character (/) are considered comments and are ignored by the
script processing engine. This means that you can use C or C++ style comments like // or /* at the start of your
line.
