Make a noise in GAMS

GAMS
1

Hello,

Is there any way to make a noise in GAMS at the end of a code (solving an MIP model)? I do not want to check the GAMS environment back and forth to see whether the solving process has been completed.

Best, Amir

Never heard a request like this before… GAMS does not make noises but you can execute any program with execute. Here is a way to play a wav file (on Windows):

...
solve mymodel us lp min z;
execute 'powershell -c (New-Object Media.SoundPlayer "C:\Windows\Media\notify.wav").PlaySync();'

You could also use the embedded code feature to run a python snippet - there are a bunch of text to speech libraries out there.

$onEmbeddedCode Python:
    import pyttsx3
    engine = pyttsx3.init()
    engine.say("I will speak this text")
    engine.runAndWait()
$offEmbeddedCode
