Hi all,

This is actually a question that was discussed here back in 2012 (you can search for it by using the exact same 'Question Title' listed as this one). The conclusion of the 2012 discussion was that no such feature exists for Material Studio's API, but I wished to bring it up once more in hopes that the feature had been added.
______________________________

I am currently trying to use perl scripting to generate a series of input files for a given module; however, there doesn't seem to be an option to save the input files for a standalone run. The action that I am attempting to replicate is 

           Molules->CASTEP->Energy->File(\$doc, Settings(....))->SaveFiles

However, where I wrote File->SaveFiles, there is no such function. Your only options here are to Run or ChangeSettings, neither of which do what I'd like. 

I know how to do this outside of scripting (selecting Files... then Save Files in the CASTEP dialog), but am unable to do it within perl script.

If you're aware of such a feature that was added in an update, please let me know! If not, I'll likely reach out to a developer to request this feature for future versions of the program.

Thanks,
Jack
