How to launch multiple Flex Terminal Emulator Workspaces simultaneously

I have created multiple Flex Terminal Emulator Workspaces and would like to start them all simultaneously.  Is this something that can be accomplished?

A batch file may be used to start multiple instances of the Flex Terminal Emulator executable and pass each workspace file as a parameter, for example:

Sample Code:


start "" "C:\Program Files\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex1.aws"

start "" "C:\Program Files\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex2.aws"

start "" "C:\Program Files\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex3.aws"

start "" "C:\Program Files\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex4.aws"

start "" "C:\Program Files\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\FlexSoftware\FlexTerm\Flex5.aws"

Follow the steps below to create a batch file for this purpose:

  1. Create a new text file and name it with a .bat extension, for example "Launch.bat".
  2. Edit the file using a text editor such as Notepad.
  3. Copy as many of the lines as necessary from the above sample and paste into the new .bat file.
  4. Modify the lines as necessary to start the appropriate Flex Terminal Emulator workspace files (*.aws).
  5. Save the .bat file.
  6. Test by double-clicking the .bat file.
If Microsoft OneDrive is in use in your environment, you may need to replace %USERPROFILE% in the above sample with either %ONEDRIVE% or %ONEDRIVECOMMERCIAL% to obtain the desired result.
