List Views in Project

You'll need to recurse through the entire project. Lookup the recursefoldersforformalmodules function in the old telelogic forums.

Once you do that, the logic is quite sound.

//code snippit

Module m = read(fullName(parentItem), true)
print fullName m "\n"
string s
for s in views (m) do
print "\t" s "\n"
close m

//end code snippit

Yup.

The notion of 'current Module' only really applies when you are running a DXL from an open module. Even then, scripts should routinely do this: Module mCurr = current at the top of the DXL, and refer to variable 'mCurr' when they want to do stuff, like loop through the views.

As for views, you need to load the view in order to query its columns, and that means the module must be open visibly, and that takes an ENOURMOUS amount of time; measured in minutes rather than seconds.

wasn't able to find the function you referenced at the old forums.

looked here: https://forum.telelogic.com/customer/doors/index.cfm?vid=340

am still lost

thanks

Ok, so as it happens I was able to find the recurse code, by accident in another script I had for listing all modules in the database, and as advertised, it took forever to compile.

the code below will look through the entire database and list all modules and their views.

next thing I need to work on for it is to only look at the current project and not all projects. AND/OR not have to open the modules. Is that possible?

thanks

///////////
void recurseFoldersForFormalModules( Item parentItem ) {
string itemType = type( parentItem )
if ( ( itemType == "Folder" ) || ( itemType == "Project" ) ) {
Item childItem
for childItem in folder( parentItem ) do {
recurseFoldersForFormalModules( childItem )
}
}

if ( itemType == "Formal" ) {
print fullName( parentItem ) "\n"
Module m = read(fullName(parentItem), true)
//print fullName m "\n"
string s
for s in views (m) do {
print "\t" s "\n"

}
close m
}
}
recurseFoldersForFormalModules( item( "/" ) )

Change the 'true' to 'false' in the 'read' command; you don't need the modules open visibly; runs much faster when invisible.

Replaced the last line with the following:

if (confirm("All Modules in entire database?")) recurseFoldersForFormalModules( item( "/" ) )
elseif(!null current Project and confirm("All modules in current Project and below"))
recurseFoldersForFormalModules( item( fullName(current Project)) )
elseif(confirm("All modules in current Folder and below?"))
recurseFoldersForFormalModules( item( fullName(current Folder)) )
else{} // nothing to do

The current project prompt is actually a little misleading. If this project has a nested project, that nested project will be recursed as well; oh well.

While I've got some scripts that work on the current Project, the vast majority of my scripts work on the current folder, and all subordinate folders and modules; and optionally subordinate Projects. These scripts have this:
Folder g_fCurr = current at the top, and my main functions work on a Folder parameter (instead of an Item parameter, as in this script).
