Is there a way to generate sudoku puzzles by batch?

I try Michael Kennett's program, works fine.

I used to generate sudoku by GSF's program works fine too, but new version got problems.
sudoku (GSF) version 2007-06-28

the command line I try is

C:\>sudoku -f"%#0v" -e "valid&&minimal==1" -g -q+FN-G -m -sp

nothing

the old version is OK,

C:\SG\>sudoku -f"%#0v" -e "valid&&minimal==1" -g -q+FN-G -m -sp

This works ... sudoku -g -qFN-G -m -sp

ronk, THANKS

Yes, I got it.

C:\>sudoku -f"%#0v" -e "valid&&minimal==1" -g -q+FN-G -m -sp

the problem is -q+FN, the "+"



> sudoku -g -m -qFN -n5 -f"%#0v"

It Works!

Is any other Freeware about to Generate Sudoku puzzles by batch?

If you only want random sudokus, you can also use dukuso's suexg. But you cannot generate sudokus with a given pattern (as is possible with gsf's program).

[gsf]

C:\>sudoku -f"%#0v" -e "valid&&minimal==1" -g -q+FN-G -m -sp

the problem is -q+FN, the "+"

thanks
the handling of + here is a bug
although the original intention was probably -qFN-G rather than -q-G
(-q-G should be equivalent to -q+FN-G and will be the next time I post a solver update)

the solver, generator, and Canonical Form, Magic cell so many powerful stuff

dukuso's suexg , but also suexmult

program to search all sudokus with given mask for clues

but I dont know how to generate sudokus with a given pattern

the usage
GSF's sudoku.exe
>sudoku -gt -n5 pattern.txt
nothing output, but crash

My program (look at http://sudokuus.com) can generate sudokuus in batch. The version you can download at present time, does not but I am happy to compile for you the version that does. No patterns are possible at present time however. I could change my program in order to let it do that but would possibly make the program less simple and straightforward. Well, if you are interested, just see if you like the sudoku's my program generates and then tell me if you would like me to compile the version with batch facilities for you.

If your program is kind of FreeWare, then I would like to have it.
Should not just me, but a lots of Sudoku FAN.

using pattern to generate Sudoku, is good.

I'm so sorry. I suddenly realize didn't interpret well what you meant with 'batch processing'. My program can make sudoku's continuously (batches of sudoku's so to speak) and write them to hard disk. So if you want 10.000 sudoku's to solve during your holydays, my program can help you :)

But I didn't add the possibility for command line executing, and I now see that this is what you want.

Of course my program is freeware. It's not that much or a thing. Just try it (http://sudokuus.com/sudoku.zip) and tell me what you think of it. If the concepts I used are viable, I am prepared to adapt it to some wishes (like command line executing or pattern using) of this community. I can also issue the source file if someone is interested.
