Hi Remko,
An easy way to do this would be to use a batch command and a wrapper
script. Since command_line_args aren't available in older IDL versions
and you can't pipe in your commands with Windows versions (I still have
hopes that, one day, we'll have command line IDL for Windows), it may be
easiest to first copy (or move) the data EFTS generates to a
prespecified file name and run an IDL batch file with that file name
hard-coded.
So, you'd have a wrapper script wrap.bat that would go like this:
@ECHO OFF
COPY /Y %1 C:\MYDATA.DAT
START /WAIT IDLDE @mybatch.pro
COPY /Y C:\MYOUTPUT.DAT %1
This would put the data into some place for IDL, wait for it to finish,
and overwrite the data generated by EFTS with IDL's output (in case you
want to import the results back into that programme - I have no idea
what EFTS does).

mybatch.pro would contain something like
.run MYPROGRAM.PRO
EXIT,/NO_CONFIRM

I realise this is a bit through the nose, maybe someone else can provide
a more elegant solution.
Hope this helps,
Jo
