Hi Williams,


I build the application using pro-Toolkit.Application will saves some of the models


in the assembly.When i save the model it creation new versions.
I would like to delete the old version created using the Pro-Toolkit API.When i

Is it possbile to do in Pro-Tookit the similar activity using the Pro-Engineer>Open


Systme Window,Purge.


I hope you understand what i am trying for.

If you are connected to a workspace then I think you can do it with Pro/INTRALINK Toolkit but I would not advise it. Otherwise if you are not connected to a workspace then you will have to interrogate the file system and delete all previous versions of a file. For example if you have myasm.asm.1, .2, .3, .4. Then you will have to write an algorithm that deletes all myasm.asm* except the .4 version.

Hi,

A small batch file might be useful.
1.Set the current directory:
CHDIR %cd%
2. Then call purge.bat
@CALL "C:\Program Files\proeWildfire 3.0\bin\purge.bat"

I hope this information is useful.

Regards,
Amar

Kishore,

I have done this for one of my application.

Here are the steps
1. Call PTK API ProFilesList() to get the files in the specified directory, filter out the unwanted files.
2. Call C function - qsort, to arrange the array of elements returned by ProFilesList().
3. Visit all the elemets of the sorted queue and call the C function remove(str), to remove the unwanted elements.

Let me know if you require the code for the same, send me your email ID.
