In my addin I look at the GenPath attribute of an element.
In some projects we are using local paths and directories so that GenPath evaluates to something like
%MyROOT%......
Is there a way in my addin to expand the %MyROOT% part of the path
Thanks
Access the paths.txt file in the %appdata% folder:
string appDataFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
string localPathsFilePath=
System.IO.Path.Combine(appDataFolder, #"Sparx Systems\EA\paths.txt");

The Goal:
How to use .gitignore to exclude all folders & files except PowerShell $Profile?
The answer should help expand the current exception file list to more files in other subfolders. If possible, reduce wildcards to minimum, and use as specific as possible (full/fuller file path). Why? For instance, Book1.xlsx may exist in multiple subfolders but I want to be able to choose only the specific desired subfolders.
Thanks in advance!
Current status:
On Windows 10 (not Linux Distros):
git init initiated on top level directory C:\. [Please don't suggest to start from other subfolders. Just remain with C:\, as I will include more files to the exception list]
C:\.gitignore containing the below:
# Ignore All
/*
# Exception List [eg. PowerShell's $Profile (please use FULL/FULLER FILE PATH, if possible)]
!.gitignore
!Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
!Users/John/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
!Users\John\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
!C:/Users/John/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
!C:\Users\John\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
With the above codes, git status successfully returned only .gitignore as 1 untracked file. Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 remained missing from untrack listing.
I've tried alternative ways (wildcard, partial subfolder name with pattern, etc) but all failed to return the fuller file path PowerShell $Profile.
How would it be possible to get a list with all directories inside a specific directory of a Cloud Storage bucket using an App Engine application in PHP?
You can try two approaches to list all the directories inside a specific directory in a bucket:
Use the code snippet from the PHP docs samples at Google Cloud Platform GitHub and modify it in a way that list_objects_with_prefix function includes also delimiter, not only prefix. I have written such function in Python in this SO topic, you can use it as a reference. Here prefix needed to be the name of the parent directory, for e.g. 'my_directory/' and delimiter is simply '/' to indicate that we want to end our search on elements finishing with '/' (hence, directories).
Use gsutil ls command to list objects in a directory from within PHP. You will need to use shell_exec function:
$execCommand = "gsutil ls gs://bucket";
$output = shell_exec($execCommand);
output will be a string in this case and it will contain also file names if present in the parent directory.
This SO topic might be also informative, here the question was to list the whole directory (together with files).
My team faces the need to encrypt all files in a repository with AES256. For this purpose, we decided we are going to zip all files with such encryption, using the same key for all of them.
The problem we have is that these files sit in a NAS, so from windows boxes they are accessible by \ to them.
The directory structure is something like this:
Original Structure:
Root
-1
|--folder1
|---file1.ext
|---file2.ext
|--folder2
|---filea.ext
|---fileb.ext
|--folder2.a
|---filec.ext
and so on...
Essentially, what we need is to have all the original files contained in a zip file, keeping their original names, which would be something like this:
Desired Outcome:
|-Root
|-1
|--folder1
|---file1.zip
|---file2.zip
|--folder2
|---filea.zip
|---fileb.zip
|--folder2a
|---filec.zip
and so on...
To accomplish this, we tried a batch script that calls 7zip, but it only works if it's run from the root directory, which is something we cannot use as the files are not in a server.
Here is the syntax of the batch script we came up with:
FOR /R %%i IN ("*.wmv") DO "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -mx0 -tzip -pPasswordHere "%%~dpni.zip" "%%i"
But, as wrote previously, it only works when run from the root folder, which is something we cannot do as files sit on a network location.
Mapping the drive or making a symbolic link to it doesn't do the trick either.
I've also checked on 7zip to do this, namely, making use of its "-r" operator, but I couldn't find a way to get the desired outcome (namely, recurse through all folders in the remote tree structure -there are a lot of them...- and keep the original file name).
I'm open to any suggestions as any kind of script, trick or guizmo that gets the job done will be more than welcome. =)
Thanks a million in advance!,
Sebas.
----SOLUTION----
I actually found a sollution here, mapping the drive in a different way (it's so simple it just made me feel stupid(er), but it's altogheter beautiful).
Using the batch script below, the remote share can be mapped like so:
You can map a drive using
net use X: \\server\directory
and then you can change to that directory using
pushd X:

example
There is a file "sample.rar".
Folder structure is: "rising\dawn\ and here there are many (folders1, folders2 and file1, file2)" in this archive.
i have used following command
7z.exe x "sample.rar" "rising\dawn\*" -oi:\delete
The result is:
all files and folders in "rising\dawn\" are extracted to "i:\delete" folder but the empty parent folders "rising\dawn\" are also created in destination folder.
e.g. destination looks:
i:\delete\rising\dawn\folder1\file1.bmp
i:\delete\rising\dawn\folder2\subfolder
i:\delete\rising\dawn\file1.txt
i:\delete\rising\dawn\file2.txt
i don't want "rising\dawn\" empty folders to be created but the folder structure there onwards must be as is in the archive.
i want the result:
i:\delete\folder1\file1.bmp
i:\delete\folder2\subfolder
i:\delete\file1.txt
i:\delete\file2.txt
at last i found a way out solution. thanks to the winrar support. i have accepted it as an answer below.

Finally this gave me the result.
Thanks to winrar support.
rar x -ep1 sample.rar rising\dawn\* d:\e\delete\
i have tried other answers given here, this is the only correct answer.
don't forget to upvote.
You can extract the archive normally and
1) move the lower level folder/files to where you would like it, then
2) remove the extra top level archive folders.
Code to do so will depend on the exact task.
Using e command instead of x and add -r option works well.
Like this:
7z.exe e -r "sample.rar" "rising\dawn\*" -oi:\delete
My executable version is "7-Zip [64] 9.20 2010-11-18",
And the platform is Windows 8.1.
This command line eliminates unnecessary parent folders and preserves the hierarchy of folders.
You need to use the e command rather than the x command:
7z.exe e "sample.rar" "scholar\update\*" -oi:\delete
Using e instead of x means 7zip will extract all matching files into the same folder (as specified via the -so switch, or the current directory if this isn't specified) rather than preserving the folder structure from inside the archive.
I would like to move my default "My Documents\WindowsPowerShell" folder. However, when I try this, PowerShell of course can't find $profile. Is there a file or something that I can edit to point PowerShell to a different startup folder?
What I can suggest is that you dot source the file having the content of your profile in the file $profile.AllUsersAllHosts
$profile.AllUsersAllHosts is something like C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\profile.ps1
Related question: Is it possible to change the default value of $profile to a new value?
You could use junction.exe from Sysinternals to make the WindowsPowershell directory a symbolic link to another location (but not a network drive).
You could do this if you wanted to store the profile scripts at C:\POSH
junction.exe "$HOME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell" 'C:\POSH'
As far as i know you can't do that. The user profile location is always under 'My Documents\WindowsPowerShell' and your only option is to relocate your documents folder (folder redirection).
By default $Profile/$Home/$PSModulePath are all within the registry... normally under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment for User environment variables
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment for System environment variables
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\User Shell Folders
and elsewhere!
