Query requirement specifications of specification books

Dear IBM Community,

i'm struggling a bit with Rational DOORS and the DXL-language. We want to query requirement specifications out of existing specification books. (Later the DXL-file is a parameter passed to the doors.exe in a command line for execution what is already working in principal) Our structure is as follows:

We have a Project [12121_2-PROJ02] with a folder [20_12121_folder1] in it:

There are specification books in the folder [20_12121_folder1] and a few others in the subsequent folders. Here is an example specification book:

We want to query all specification books on all levels within this structure. It should also be possible to limit the query by querying only for a list of attributes. Finally we want to export these values to a comma separated file (csv) for later processing like this:

To query modules I found this article:

Unfortunately I didn't have luck with it...

Can someone of you please provide a piece of code or a link to achieve this?

Kind regards from Germany,

Joerg

Some sample code to get you started.

Folder f = current
Item i

for i in f do
{
        if ( type(i) == "Formal" && !isDeleted(i) )
        {
                string modName = fullName( i )
                Module m = read( modName, false, true )
                
                if ( !null m )
                {
                        Object o
                        for o in m do
                        {
                                print identifier( o ) "\n"
                        }
                        
                        close( m )
                }
        }
}

Hi @a8155058 28e4aa55-4cf5-4d0d-90cf-dde257eeef7e

i had a little troubles with my account... Now i'm good to say thank you very much!

I already did a few things with your code example and it turns out to be pretty fine with your code.

It is possible that I have one or two further questions but so far everything is perfect :)

Thanks & Kind regards,

Joerg
