Hello Guys,

how can i get all Modules in a selected project with chosen "hardcoded" properties like

"get module with property 1, 2 and y"

?

( Have a look to the loop 'for module in folder' and 'ModuleProperties' in the DXL help ... And post your code if you are in trouble ;) )

Hey,

i tried this method..

Project targetProject = current Project 
Item it
string modname = ""
Module m
Folder f = current
//string descrip = description

for it in targetProject do
{
        modname = fullName(it)                          
        print modname "\n" 
        counter++       
        for m in f do
        {
                print count "!"
                count++ 
        }
}

but my compiler only show the first print...

"/Test_Project/Specification"
"/Test_Project/Specification/Test"

Test_Project is my project name

Specification is a folder

Test is a formal module

I dont understand why he tells me that there are no modules in my project...

        print modname "\n" 
        counter++       
        for m in f do
        {
                print count "!"
                count++ 
        }
}

Hi !

Perhaps you should explore your project to show its elements ;)
I propose this snipet to show folder / project content, but without links or descriptive modules ... 

int count_formals(string folder_path, bool verbose){
    Folder f = folder folder_path
    if ( null f ) return -1

    Item it
    int count = 0
    for it in f do {
        if ( isDeleted it ) continue
        if ( type(it)=="Link" || type(it)=="Descriptive") continue
        if ( verbose ) print rootName_(it) "\n"
        if ( type(it)=="Folder" || type(it)=="Project")
            count = count + count_formals(fullName it, verbose)
        if ( type(it)=="Formal" ) count++
    }
    return count
}

string path_project = "your project path here"
int nb_modules = count_formals(path_project, false)
if (nb_modules == -1 ) print "No modules in " path_project "\n"
else print nb_modules " detected modules\n"

Enjoy !

( Just have a look to the ModuleProperties feature ... and add what you want to print in the 'if verbose' statement  ;) Post your code if you are in trouble ! )

I found this

AttrDef ad = find(current Module, "XXX") 
AttrType at = ad.type 
print at.name           // prints String 

But it needs a module not an item?

Whats the command for an item?

Hi

An Item represents either a module, a folder, a project folder or a link module. You can get access to an Item by different Functions. If you have the Item-ID, you can write

Item itmWork = itemFromID("000a0b26");

The Item must not be loaded to get access to it. But if your Item is a module - type(itmWork) will tell it to you - you can open it in the write or read modus.

Module mdlWork = edit(fullName(itmWork));

So if you search the database you have to use the items. If you want to read some properties of a module you have to check if your item is a module and then to load the module.

Ok, how do i get the Item-ID?

Is there a method like user.find() ?

 :/  It's very complicated... I only want to get some properties of a module (and write them into a .txt -file)

Hi

If you use the search script above you have the item. If you have the item, you do not need any ID.

If you want to geht the id of an item you can read it yourself - Properties - General - and then the last Digits of "URL:". if you want to find it by dxl you can use uniqueID(itmWork)

The best idea for you seems to read the manual one time in one peace. Then you will know where to find such functions.

Best regards

Wolfgang

   if ( type(it)=="Formal" )                  
        {
                //m = edit(fullName(it))                
                print name(it)"\n"
                m = read(fullName(it), false)   
                string modulName = m."Name"
                string co = "Created On"
                Date x = m.co 
                print x "\n"
                count++
        }

I found that what i want :)
