I have path of a module. I know how to open (edit/read) it to get a module.
But I don't want to open it because I don't want to use information in it (or because it can't be open), what I want is only to use some function like "getparentfolder".
So I need to be able to retrieve "ModName_" of the module from its path that is a string.
maybe for this particular subject (getparentfolder) there is another method but what I would like is to be able to get ModeName_ from a path.
Thanks a lot.
ModName_ mod = module "full path here"

I like using .fsi signature files to control visibility. However, if I have both Foo.fsi and Foo.fs files in my solution, and #load "Foo.fs" in a script, it doesn't seem like the corresponding signature file gets used. If I do:
#load "Foo.fsi"
#load "Foo.fs"
... then the desired visibility control happens. Is this the recommended way to achieve this, or is there a better way to do it? In a perfect world, one would like to see the signature file automatically loaded, too.
Not a final answer, but a better way.
From reading Expert F# 4.0 one can do
#load "Foo.fsi" "Foo.fs" "Foo.fsx"
All three loads are on one line.
TL;DR
The link to the book is via WolrdCat just put in a zip code and it will show you locations near there where the book can be found.
I have a script which saves some files at a given location. It works fine but when I send this code to someone else, he has to change the paths in the code. It's not comfortable for someone who does not know what is in that code and for me to explain every time where and how the code should be changed.
I want to get this path in a variable which will be taken from the configuration file. So it will be easier for everyone to change just this config file and nothing in my code. But I have never done this before and could not find any information on how I can do this in the internet.
PS: I do not have any code and I ask about an ultimate solution but it is really difficult to find something good in the internet about dxl, especially since I'm new with that. Maybe someone of you already does that or has an idea how it could be done?
DXL has a perm to read the complete context of a file into a variable: string readFile (string) (or Buffer readFile (string))
you can split the output by \n and then use regular expressions to find all lines that match the pattern
^\s*([^;#].*)\s*=\s*(.*)\s*$
(i.e. key = value - where comment lines start with ; or #)
But in DOORS I prefer using DOORS modules as configuration modules. Object Heading can be the key, Object Text can be the value.
Hardcode the full name of the configuration module into your DXL file and the user can modify the behaviour of the application.
The advantage over a file is that you need not make assumptions on where the config file is to be stored on the file system.
It really depends on your situation. You are going to need to be a little more specific about what you mean by "they need to change the paths in the code". What are these paths to? Are they DOORS module paths, are they paths to local/network files, or are the something else entirely?
Like user3329561 said, you COULD use a DOORS module as a configuration file. I wouldn't recommend it though, simply because that is not what DOORS modules were designed for. DOORS is fully capable of reading system files in one line at a time as well as all at once, but I can't recommend that option either until I know what types of paths you want to load and why.
I suspect that there is a better solution for your problem that will present itself once more information is provided.
I had the same problem, I needed to specify the path of my configuration file used in my dxl script.
I solved this issue passing the directory path as a parameter to DOORS.exe as follow:
"...\DOORS\9.3\bin\doors.exe" -dxl "string myVar = \"Hello Word\"
then in my dxl script, the variable myVar is a global variable.
I'm trying to use the sockets module in a script and I keep encountering a issue where the script is unable to find socket.core. Is there anyway for me to point to exactly where the core.dll is? I've tried using cpath and I can never seem to get it to work. I just want to be able to say "C:/folder/folder/folder/core.dll"
package.cpath = 'F:/Folder/Foldertwo/Game/agame/Beta/Scripts/libs/socket/?.dll;' .. package.cpath
#EgorSkriptunoff is correct in his comment: socket.lua (which is a lua module) loads socket.core (which is a dynamic library), so you won't be able to load it from folder/core.dll as the default searcher will be looking for socket/core.dll.
If you really want to load it from folder/core.dll, you may try to load it yourself and assign the returned value to package.preload['socket.core']. This way when socket.lua loads the module, it will get the value to return from package.preload key without loading the module.
after loading a module in Lua, I'd like to determine what module file this corresponds to. In python, you do this with code like:
import module_name
module_name.__file__
So in Lua if I do something like
require 'math'
what do I put next to determine where this module is located? Btw, I don't actually need the location of math, but instead have some other third-party packages that were downloaded and want to know what copy of the build files are actually being used when I invoke Lua.
The package library might give you what you need.
For instance, if I have util.lua in my Lua path such that I can write:
require 'util'
I can get the path to the file like this:
print(package.searchpath('util', package.path))
I need to use DXL to loop through all modules in our database and find out which Rational Change Template each module is using, and possibly switch it to a different one. Can't find any documentation on Change API for DOORS.
I had to contact IBM directly to get this information. But here it is if anyone else needs to do it.
Skip cfgData = createString
string current_template = ""
getModuleConfigurationData(m, cfgData)
find(cfgData, CSINT_CONFIG_USE_TEMPLATE, current_template)
delete cfgData
At this point current_template has the file name of the template that it is configured for. This can be used to compare to existing templates and verify it is set correctly.
Also, if an update is necessary the following function will save the skip list back to the configuration.
put(cfgData, CSINT_CONFIG_USE_TEMPLATE, new_template)
cmSaveModuleConfigurationData(m, cfgData)
