Schedule Plan File Format

1. Create a new file named schema.txt
2. Edit schema.txt with the following format:

Class{year}{Winter/Spring/Fall}

{Course}{CourseName}, {ClassID}
{Course}{CourseName}, {ClassID}
...

Example:

3. Use the TUI to select “Load Plan” and provide the file path (default: uw-course-files/schema.txt).
4. The program will generate uw-course-files/schedule.out, and you can export it to PDF from the TUI.

Output Location

All generated files are stored in uw-course-files/:

• uw-course-files/schedule.out
• uw-course-files/schedule.pdf
• uw-course-files/schema.txt (if saved from the TUI)
