I have a very big notebook with a command repeated a lot of times but with different parameters each time and I want to run all these commands at the same time without having to run separately all of them. Is there a way?

EDIT: more info

Between different calls of the 'command' there are other things (mainly plots) and I want to preserve the order of the notebook.

Using the Evaluate Notebook form the menu Evaluation can be an option but when I am in a hurry this is bad because it evaluates also all the things in between while I am mainly interested in the output of my commands.

  • $\begingroup$ Ah, ok then, what about the Evaluate Notebook menu item? NVM - I missed the 'same name' part... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You could mark the cells you don't want evaluated as such in the cell menu (you can collectively do this). Otherwise, probably some notebook programming involved. $\endgroup$

As requested:

Use tags on the cells you want (same tag for all), then NotebookLocate andSelectionEvaluate together.

I get it using this code:

nb = EvaluationNotebook[];
NotebookEvaluate[nb, InsertResults -> True, EvaluationElements -> {"Tags" -> {"evaluate"}}];

and tagging with the tag evaluate only the cells that I want to evaluate on first run.
