I guess you could put it in a tcl script invoked from within a shell script, then parse out the answers from the output, but I don't know an easier way to do it, sorry. Bruce

Hello, I am trying to check if some talairach coordinates of AI (auditory primary) (from paper) are in the transverstamporal label, on am subjects. To do this, and thanks to your answers I used the commands line in tksurfer:

select_talairach_coordinate x y z mark_vertex $select 1 and I can read: the vertex number and the label

but I have to get the vertex number and the label for 5 points and 40 subjects, do you know how to get the vertex number and the label in a script? I tried func_select_label which gives me the label in the command line but I don't know how to get it in a file.

Thanks a lot for this help
