Searching for files (Client API)

[PeterAslund]

Hi!

I want do make a search and download all files with ".csproj" inside a folder.
I have tried achieving this via the Client API command prompt application.

When running this command:
vault.exe findinfolder "*.csproj" "RootFolder/SubFolder" -host "{HOST}" -username "{USERNAME}" -password "{PASSWORD}" -repository "{REPO}"
I get the error: "No object was found at the repository part: RootFolder/SubFolder


I have also tried with specifying the path with $ as:
vault.exe findinfolder "*.csproj" "$/RootFolder/SubFolder" -host "{HOST}" -username "{USERNAME}" -password "{PASSWORD}" -repository "{REPO}"
This gave me this error: The repository's index is not currently enabled.

Is this something I have to enable?

Please note that I necessarily want to search the file contents, only the filename. Is there a better way?

You can try the GetWildCard command for that. Here's the info on that command: http://download.sourcegear.com/Vault/8. ... ETWILDCARD.

Thank you! The GetWildCard command was exactly what I needed.

Can I suggest the feature that you can specify multiple wildcards. For example specifying multiple file extensions as:
".csproj;.sln"

And also showing how many files that where copied, in the xml result.


Thank you for the help

Scratch one of those. I think you can currently get by multiple wild cards. Separate each by a space and see if that gets you the results you need.

For example,

Code: Select all

vault.exe -user xxx -password yyy -repository zzz GETWILDCARD $/some/path/ *.csproj *.sln *.h

Same thing can be done with the regular GET. There is a character limit that Windows sets, so will have to watch the number of items entered.
