Script to Run Other Scripts

Is there a simple script that will execute a sequence of other scripts, much like a batch file?

Although I've never tried this myself, there are two exposed functions off the Global Vegas object that claim to be able to run another script

// Run a script from a file. Parameters: scriptFile: the complete file path of the script to run
void RunScriptFile ( String scriptFile )

// Run a script from a file. Parameters: scriptFile: the complete file path of the script to run scriptArgs: script arguments
void RunScriptFile ( String scriptFile, String scriptArgs )

Gary, that command will work to run a script but only from within a Custom Command.

From the scripting API list for Vegas Pro 8:

"Custom commands can run scripts using RunScriptFile and RunScriptText methods of the Vegas object. These methods will fail if called from within a script."

Thanks Ed. I must have missed that explanation when I looked through the Vegas API docs.

I guess the answer is "no", especially at my level of understanding. Thanks for the replies.
