Is there any way to script commands in xfoil. I got this huge project in this class that requires alot of xfoil input and I'm lazy. If you have anything then I'll try it. Thanks.

1)simply make a text file like this:

naca 0012 oper visc 100000 alfa 5

quit

2)Save it as "xfoil.run"

3)run it with:

xfoil <xfoil.run> logfile

4) you're done. The output will be printed to the logfile. Basically, anything you put in the xfoil.run file will be the commands taken into xfoil.

good luck - sorry I'm a year late :)
