How to read out library-Version number?

[elowan]

As far as i remember, shell-cmd „Version Filename of library“ returns the version number of a library file. Is there a way to make this cmd go thru all files in a directory and retur a list of versionnumbers of all files found inside?

list >ram:script libs: lformat="version *"%p%n*" file full"
execute ram:script

[elowan]

thanks, i´ll try this!

There seems to be a little problem, i get a list of libs - but no version numbers. And a complain about too long argument (return 20)

Make sure you type the command thomas gave correctly, from your screenshot you got it wrong both times.

Sorry, i dont see a typo in here - some hint please?!

Hmm. I'm not sure why you got that error. I tried that command and it did work, though it works better if you add a "failat 30" line at the start of the script (otherwise the script stops at the first subdirectory or file without version string in LIBS:).

You could try using the S:SPat script instead:

SPat Version LIBS:#?.library FULL FILE

Replace LIBS: with whatever directory you want to scan files in. Using SPat doesn't scan files in subdirectories (e.g. you might have files in LIBS:xfd which you want to scan as well as the ones in LIBS:). You can do that with Thomas' method by adding an ALL argument to the List command.

Try this:

echo >ram:script "failat 21*nset echo on"
list >>ram:script libs: all files lformat="version *"%p%n*" file full"
execute ram:script

Thank you, i must close for now - but give it a try soon !

Report+ can do this; just go to "path differences report", choose "generate a snapshot", make sure that logging is enabled, and then after generating the report have a look at the logfile, you will see all version numbers of all files listed.
