How do I find the component corresponding to file/folder in a sandbox?
I'm trying to do some processing on each of components loaded in a sandbox. My approach is to iterate through the top level of Windows file system folders in the sandbox then use the component name to drive my processing logic. How can I obtain the component name for a specific file/folder in a sandbox? For instance, if component appComponent is loaded in the sandbox at appSandbox/app, how can I find which component is associated with appSandbox/app? This would be easy if a Base Folder was always created when the component was loaded but unfortunately I can't make that assumption. My original question was based on Lily Wang's suggestion (in an earlier question) of using the scm status subcommand. I accepted that answer then discovered that the scm status subcommand was deprecated and pointed that out in a comment to her answer. The suggested alternative is the scm show status command. I found that it didn't allow me to provide the name of top level folders and hence wasn't able to provide the component name. She asked to see my output which I intended to add into the comment. The forum wouldn't let me do that so submitted it again as a new question. Thanks Mike Here's the output I see:
The scm status subcommand gets the path you're interested in by using your current working directory.
E:\appSandbox\app>scm --show-uuid yes status --no-local-refresh

The show status subcommand doesn't appear to be sensitive to the working directory and doesn't allow the the top foldername to be specified in the -d argument. I see this:
E:\appSandbox\app>scm show status -d E:\appSandbox -N -v
Local file system is consistent.

Another possibility came to mind. Can the property get subcommand return the local full path property of a component. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with the name of the local full path property.

I am not sure what the question is, really.
He wants to use the RTC command line to determine the display name (and/or UUID) of the component for a given file/folder loaded at a specified location in a sandbox.
