Purpose

Extract Function Names in Directory Tree to Excel File.

Function Replaced

tlaGetNamesTree is replaced by tlaNames that has more capabilities:

  • Does not rely on the Routines function.
  • Operates in CodeWright.
  • Operates in CodeWright for .NET.
  • Provides optional sotrting of the output.
  • Provides optional viewing of the output.

tlaNames is documented on this website and is included in tlaTools.

tlaGetNamesTree is not included in tlaTools.

Operation

This function processes every file in the directory tree that matches a user-supplied file definition. This file definition can (and usually will) contain wildcards.

This function runs the Routines( ) function against each file. It detects if the output from Routines( ) contains API macros or functions. It then scans for the macro or function name on each line of the Routines( ) output.

When one is found the macro or function name and its line number are copied to the clipboard and the file name, delimited by tabs, is appended to it.

The contents of the clipboard are written to the file tlaGetNamesTree.xls in the directory set as the root of the tree for processing.

This file can then be loaded into Microsoft Excel and manipulated.

If you run against the root directory of CodeWright 7.0c and you have all of the Microsoft source code installed, it will extract 4,022 function names into the Excel spreadsheet. If you then sort this spreadsheet on Column A you will have an index of every function that is defined in the source code and the file where it resides.

The output file generate will look something like ...

0001: initopts                     ... \VI\viopts.c 125
0002: dumpopts                     ... \VI\viopts.c 251
0003: saveopts                     ... \VI\viopts.c 397
0004: setopts                      ... \VI\viopts.c 456
0005: autoindent                   ... \VI\viopts.c 692
