Question

ProE file version checking tool?

ProE Gurus,

I have a large number of ProE files in folders which were saved using different versions of ProE (Wildfire 1 thru 3).

I want to rapidly identify the subset of those which were stored in versions prior to WF3.

Is there a tool available for this purpose? Perhaps a method using a tool like grep?

Thanks in advance. I will publish a summary of any methods that work.

    On Solaris this shell script will do this
    ==============================================================================================
    #!/bin/sh

    for file in *
    do
    version="`head -1 $file | awk '{print $9}'`"
    if [ "$version" -lt "2700" ]; then
    echo $file
    fi
    done
    ==============================================================================================

    What this does is loop thru all the files in the current directory and
    finds the version by taking the 1st line of each file (head -1 $file) pipe
    that to awk to extract the 9th field of that line. Since 2700 is Wildfire 3
    it then compares the version to that. If less than "2700" then we have a
    pre WF3 file.

    You can use my ProTrail tool with the -chkvers option.
    (download it here).
    Copy protrail.exe to the folder (or another folder which is in your PATH)Open a DOS prompt in the folderRun ProTrail:
    protrail -dontrun -chkversIt will deliver output like thisSmiley Tonguerocessing file 300709296.prt.1
