Create a folder in DXL - DOORS

Question

I am trying to make a script that will copy the contents of one project to another (ie folders and modules) in DXL. To do it, I have seen that there is the create function,

create(string name, string description)

which creates a folder... But from what I see, it creates it in the current directory where I run the script.

Is there any way that running the script in the M module, from the C folder of the P project, generates a folder with the same name C but inside the new NP project?

Thanks:)

Answer 1

from the DXL manual: The name argument can be an absolute or relative name, and may include the path.. So, you might have a loop like

Project P = project ('/P')
Item i
for i in P do {
   if (type i == 'Folder') {
      string nName = name i
      create ("/NP/" sName, "")
   }
   // recursively copy the content of the folder
}

Also, depending on your needs, you might want to have a look at clipCopy and clipPaste, which duplicates an entire hierarchy.
