[Radiance-general] materials and texfunc

[Jia Hu]

I will try that. Thank you. In my case, I have a number of files that need
simulation. for example, different material property, different angles of
blinds. I heart to use shell script to automatize the simulation, e.g.,
selecting the different input files by using loop.

Cheers.
Jia
