:index:`Execute a batch file of DFHack commands.
<script; Execute a batch file of DFHack commands.>` It reads a text file and
runs each line as a DFHack command as if it had been typed in by the user --
treating the input like `an init file <init-files>`.

Some other tools, such as `autobutcher` and `workflow`, export their settings as
the commands to create them - which can later be reloaded with ``script``.

Usage::

    script <filename>

Examples
--------

- ``script startup.txt``
    Executes the commands in ``startup.txt``, which exists in your DF game
    directory.
