Does anyone know how to get a list of the FEX names that are in a folder in Dev Studio? Thanks.

APP QUERY IBISAMP HOLD
TABLE FILE FOCAPPQ
PRINT
    FILENAME
       COMPUTE STUD_ID/A70  = GETTOK(FILENAME,70,1,'.',70,'A70') ;
       COMPUTE FILE_EXT/A70 = GETTOK(FILENAME,70,-1,'.',70,'A70') ;
WHERE TOTAL FILE_EXT EQ 'fex';
-* ON TABLE HOLD AS PROGRAMS
END
-EXIT

Replace IBISAMP with your folder...

since you're in windows, there's always old school
CMD DIR C:\IBI\APPS\IBISAMP\*.FEX
will display to your screen
CMD DIR C:\IBI\APPS\IBISAMP\*.FEX > C:\IBI\APPS\IBISAMP\DELETEME.TXT /S
will save the list into a txt file
CMD DIR C:\IBI\APPS\IBISAMP\*.*
will display to your screen and redisplay your list and show your little list file

Hi Michele,
Welcome! Glad it worked for you...

Hi Dave,
In previous versions to 8, we use MREXTRACT(run nightly via ReportCaster) and read the txt files. 8 is now a repository...

susannah,

first of all, I don't like saving a hardcopy .txt to the server.

What happens if more than one user runs it?

...and, how can I query the contents?

I'll explain.
We have a 'custom' tree-view that displays all available fexi per user per domain.
This is done by parsing calling ( httprequest ) the server and parsing the domain.htm

Meanwhile we've migrated the reportingserver to windows.
I'm looking for a better ( faster ) solution.

Querying would be nice.

And is it possible to search a string of characters inside every fex ? for example : to display the fex list using 'BYTOC' ?
