**fScan Reference Manual, Chapter 2 (CmdLineOptions): set linkedfile **
===== Set Linkedfile -- Link a related file to the current data set =====
**usage:**\\
 **-set linkedfile linktype filename**\\
 **-set linkedfile linktype - browsematch**\\

The SET LINKEDFILE command lets you link any other file to the current data set as a "relatedfile". The LINKTYPE argument identifies what type of link this is. Some link-types are pre-defined with file formats recognized by fScan (pdigmfile, events, schedule, design, cardiac, respiration, physio). The [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter2:setpdigmfile|set pdigmfile]] and [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter2:setschedule|set schedule]] commands are special cases of the SET LINKEDFILE command with features to facilitate linking those file types. Other standard file types or any user-defined file types can be linked using the LINKEDFILE command explicitly.

**Arguments:**\\
  * LINKTYPE - required user-defined name for this type of link (this is used to identify the type of file)
  * FILENAME - the name of the file to link -- if omitted or '-', a file browsing window will appear
  * BROWSEMATCH - a file name matching string (Glob format) for filtering files in the browsing window (e.g. *.jpg)
