bat command to delete data from a model

[adiarnon]

hi,

for our version control we need to create a bat command that:

deleting the data from the model and just the script should stay.

how can we do it?

Maybe. If you want to remove all the data then you can use the /nodata option for the command line:

qv.exe /nodata MyDoc.qvw. It will open the file with no data. You can then save the document.

You could also try using something like the attached excel file.

As an aside, storing binary files (even empty QVW's) in a version control system will effectively block any sensible version control. Consider switching to storing your documents into prj- folders: the resulting xml files will be in text format (full version control for each individual item/object/setting in your document) and data will be thrown away by default.

Best,

Peter

Use the copy or xcopy command. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/240268

Have you considered Peter Cammaert's comment? Empty QVWs can still be quite large if there are many objects and they are binary, so they will clog up your VC database pretty quickly. The -prj folder option is designed precisely for this purpose.

If you need help, you can search the community site for 'version control'.

YES i considered Peter Cammaert's comment but i cant manage the changes with the XML files

i have alot of objects in one doc
