I am using ReadLinesFromFile for reading multiple lines from a txt file and appending it to the path in sql.execute. The problem is its reading all the lines and appending them at once:
Text File Contents:
a.sql
b.sql
Sql.Execute ServerName="$(ServerName)" DatabaseName="CDRCntroller" path="..\DB\CDRController\BROKER\#(Prop1).
MSBuild is taking the path as : .....\BROKER\a.sql;b.sql
Any way I can use Prop1 as an array and refer the contents in the file one by one?
I tried using StringToItemList also but no luck :(
Thanks.
You should try this
Sql.Execute ServerName="$(ServerName)" DatabaseName="CDRCntroller" path="..\DB\CDRController\BROKER\%(Prop1.Identity)
The % tells Msbuild to repeat the task for each item. Identity is a Metadata containing the item itself.
Hope it helps !
Use metadata notation instead. Like this :
Sql.Execute ServerName="$(ServerName)" DatabaseName="CDRCntroller" path="..\DB\CDRController\BROKER\%(Prop1.Identity)

I have an SFTP directory that contains several files in this format
19328D_T001045863113302101909_20220721_103898.txt
1932A8_T001045863113302101909_20220721_103802.txt
The part starting with T i have saved as a dynamic variable vars.transaction (e.g. vars.transaction == "T001045863113302101909"). I want to do a check if I have any files in this directory that contain my vars.transaction in the filename.
So I think I need to use sftp list connector, edit inline and use filename pattern. But as there is numbers before and after the Transaction part I am not sure what to put in the filename pattern. Something like [#vars.transaction]
Thanks in advance
You can use the wildcard * along with your variable. Like *#[vars.transaction]* that will match all the files which has the vars.transaction in their name
I wonder there is any way to splitting some variables in VSCode?
my example will explain my question better:
I have an exe file in such path C:\path\to\workspace\main\project\project.exe
my cpp source path that will create exe file is this C:\path\to\workspace\main\project\test.cpp
I want to create a task in tasks.json but my oder of variables does not give me the right path
as you understand:
${workspaceFolder} is C:\path\to\workspace
${fileDirname} returns C:\path\to\workspace\main\project
and ${relativeFileDirname}.exe returns main\project.exe
and combination of "${fileDirname}\\${relativeFileDirname}.exe" as a command will return C:\path\to\workspace\main\project\main\project.exe that is wrong.
so I wanted to know there is any other variable that just return the parent of current file or not?
if not can we split variables with \ ?
I hope it makes some sense
thanks
Add new fileDirnameBasename variable
see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/551db7ec94f02a4bdc8999092cf8bef642b3992d
${fileDirnameBasename} is being added to vscode v1.52 which I believe is what you are looking for.
You can use the extension Command Variable
Use the commands:
extension.commandvariable.file.fileDirBasename
extension.commandvariable.file.fileDirBasename1Up
extension.commandvariable.file.fileDirBasename2Up
btw, as an workaround, this worked for me
"${fileDirname}\\*.exe"
but need a variable for getting parent folder of current open file
any idea?
How can I find out (with Windows a batch command), if, for example, a variable starts with ABC?
I know that I can search for variables if I know the whole content (if "%variable%"=="abc"), but I want that it only looks after the beginning.
I also need it to find out where the batch file is located, so if there is a other command that reveals the file's location, please let me know.
Use the variable substring syntax:
IF "%variable:~0,3%"=="ABC" [...]
If you need the path to the batch file without the batch file name, you can use the variable:
%~dp0
Syntax for this is explained in the help for the for command, although this variable syntax extends beyond just the for command syntax.
to find batch file location use %0 (gives full patch to current batch file) or %CD% variable which gives local directory
I'm working on a script that processes a folder and there is always one file in it I need to rename. The new name should be the parent directory name. How do I get this in a batch file? The full path to the dir is known.
It is not very clear how the script is supposed to become acquainted with the path in question, but the following example should at least give you an idea of how to proceed:
FOR %%D IN ("%CD%") DO SET "DirName=%%~nxD"
ECHO %DirName%
This script gets the path from the CD variable and extracts the name only from it to DirName.
You can use basename command:
FULLPATH=/the/full/path/is/known
JUSTTHENAME=$(basename "$FULLPATH")
You can use built-in bash tricks:
FULLPATH=/the/full/path/is/known
JUSTTHENAME=${FULLPATH##*/}
Explanations:
first # means 'remove the pattern from the begining'
second # means 'remove the longer possible pattern'
*/ is the pattern
Using built-in bash avoid to call an external command (i.e. basename) therefore this optimises you script. However the script is less portable.
I use some task that works with files (Copy for example), but I want to exclude all files that are empty (0 bytes length). Is there a syntax to do this?
You will have yo write a custom task for this. If you are using MSBuild 4, then you can also create an Inline Task (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd722601.aspx).
