Hi all, 

I wanted to speed up processing with ART (i.e., not use the GUI). I edited the example .cfg file. This works fine. However, right now, I still need to edit the "session 1 image" and "session 2 image" to include the full path to the image for each person, and I cannot figure out how to shorten this step.

Each person's file name starts with their subject number (e.g., 1062) and ends with "005a001.nii" for the first run and "007a001.nii" for the second run, but the middle portion of the file name is different for each person / time point. 

I could not figure out how to either: create a loop to make a .cfg for each person that would automatically include the correct path to each file 

or at a minimum, I could not figure out how to get the Linux wildcard (*) to abbreviate the file names; e.g., when I typed 1062*005a001.nii or *005a001, the file was not found. Being able to use some wildcard character would at least save me from needing to copy in the full path to the file for each person... (e.g., I could still individually create a .cfg file for each person / time point, but would only need to change the subject number and time point (e.g., 1062\01\) part of the path for each new .cfg file and not need to change anything else) 

Any help or advice for speeding up ART processing by using .cfg files or otherwise would be greatly appreciated! 

Best, 
Kathleen
