Hi all,
I have a part ( *.prt ) assembled in several assemblies ( *.asm ). How can I do to know in which assemblies that part is assembled ( without Intralink ) ? I'm working with WF2 on Xp Pro.
Thanks in advantage.
Shultz.

I don't know if there's a function in Foundation (don't think so). I have, though, used Windows Search. To find
abc123.prt, search for
*.asm.* Containing Text abc123I'll be watching a "real" answer along with you.

This is one for you guys working in PTK or J-Link: 'Where used' without Intralink. That would sell, maybe something like the old DOS Norton utilities, but for Pro/e files. Something like that already out there?

Thanks Jeff, but...this works on Win2K, but not on XP Pro...
Regards, Shultz.

Oops, yeah I am using W2K (probably will 'til some critical app is no longer supported and then I'm going to give Linux a hard look). Never occurred to me that XP couldn't. Maybe possible to work up a DOS Find (or has that been done away with, too?) batch file?
Some things that might be worth a try if someone doesn't offer anything ... Post to mcadcentral.com or ptcuser.org. They see a bit more traffic than this group, I believe. Mcadcentral also has some (inexpensive?) Pro/E utilities listed on the site. Maybe one of them will have a function to do the find (?).
Try doing it from command prompt using the old DOS 'Find' command.
This is, of course, very cumbersome, but if you absolutely need to find all these files, it will work.
P.S. Give the command prompt some time to find all the instances after you type in the 'FIND...' and hit 'ENTER'. It seems to take longer than the search from the regular Explorer interface.
Thanks, Alex. You got me thinking on this again and there's another command that might be a little better suited assuming XP still supports it.
findstr /s /m "string" *.asm*
will search subdirectories (/s) and return a list of files (/m) containing the string. (Or, at least so I think. I just gave it a quick try and it seems to.)
Can be done from a session system window. There's also a way to add an RMB menu DOS prompt in Explorer. Believe I found it in Windoze Help.
A couple more tidbits that might be of use:
Typing "findstr /?" or "help findstr" will list the command syntax and switches.
If there's going to be a long list of files returned the output of the command can be routed to a text file by using "findstr /s /m "string"
*.asm* > somename.txt".If something should cause the command to hang, ctrl + c should abort it.
===========================
Just a small add... holding the windows key (next to the control) and hitting "r" will get that run box up quick. If the last thing you did was CMD you can have that window up pretty fast. You can also type excel, calc and launch stuff really fast.
Windows key also works great with "e" for Explorer, "M" for minimize and "L" for lock the PC
