Re: [foxboro] Foxview

Just had a quick experiment and "dflt" does not capture all the C:Bs used.
Where can I find a manual/description (PDF file?) for the ".g" format?

The way I do it is to convert the display to a .g file using the Display
Converter and grep out the references to "dflt".  This will give you a list
of COMP:BLOCK.PARAM connections, which you can further parse out with
various "cut" commands, or after copying to your LAN, using Excel's import
text features.

FoxView 99.2.1 also has a display connection report, under Tools, Display
Editor (Dedit), and then the Command tab, and there is a button for
"Connection Report".  The output is similar to a connection report for
Display Manager.

I personally like the .g file method, because you get a more complete
picture of what is on the display.  With the connection report method, if
you use any faceplate templates, you get lots of entries that say ".PNT", or
".ALMSTA", with no actual compound or block name attached.  The .g file
method lists every connection, regardless of how it was built.
