Hi,

Of course using commands of this in a shellscript or batchfile would be
the recommended way of non-interactive use. But if you really think that
changing the notebook to a *.m file is too much trouble (if you are not
doing things that need the frontend, it should be easy by Edit->Save
Selection As->Package Format) or if you are using a Mac (where I think
is no possibility to use a command line in the above way??), there is
also the possibility to achieve what you want by programming the
Frontend. Have a look at the corresponding documentation, which
unfortunatly is rather poor (NotebookLocate, FrontendExecute,
SelectionEvaluate and such, the book by Glynn and Gray might be a good
source of information). Anyway, if you are not experienced with these
things, I doubt this is less complicated than changing the notebook to
something that can be used in the way Jens-Peer recommended...
