[Clp] using the command line CLP

[Meketon, Marc]

Thank you.  Being a newbie, I didn't know the "directory" option until reading your example.  This will work.

I believe you can use the "directory" command to change the directory before calling "solution." I am using the solver compiled on Cygwin in Windows by putting the Cygwin "bin" folder in the windows folder that I call the solver from... so my paths look a little wonky, but here's my example:

C:\Clp\clp.exe > C:\Clp\clp_output\logfile.txt -import /cygdrive/c/Clp/mps_files/clp_input.mps -presolve off -cross off -maxIt 25 -printi all -directory /cygdrive/c/Clp/clp_output -barr -solu solfile.txt

Hope this helps!
