iLogic help + Accessing the File name of a referenced document.

MechMachineMan — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 19:41:47 GMT

I'm trying to make a list of all referenced / referencing documents and currently all it does is show up blank, as if it is skipping over the whole For section.

Please take a look and advise me on what I'm doing wrong.

SubMain()

oWrite = System.IO.File.CreateText("C:\Users\FILE NAME HERE"&".txt")

oDoc=ThisDoc.Document

Fori=1To 100

oWrite.WriteLine(i)

Next

Forj=1TooDoc.AllReferencingDocuments.Count

DimoRefAsDocument = oDoc.AllReferencingDocuments.Item(j)

oWrite.WriteLine(oRef.FullFileName)

Next

oWrite.Close

End Sub

Hi, I think this can be your solution...

Sub Main()

oWrite = System.IO.File.CreateText("d:\test.txt") ' Change the filename as you like
oDoc = ThisDoc.Document
 
For j = 1 To oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments.Count
    oWrite.WriteLine(j & ") " & oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments.Item(j).FullFileName)
Next

' ******* if you want the first level referenced documents then this is your option *********
'For j = 1 To oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments.Count
'    oWrite.WriteLine(j & ") " & oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments.Item(j).FullFileName)
'Next

oWrite.Close
End Sub

I made a mistake...this is the correction for part of my posted code....sorry.

' ******* if you want the first level referenced documents then this is your option *********
'For j = 1 To oDoc.ReferencedDocuments.Count
'    oWrite.WriteLine(j & ") " & oDoc.ReferencedDocuments.Item(j).FullFileName)
'Next

Thanks! That seems to have done it. Was getting random Invalid errors because my indexing was off, then was not printing any info due to me using the wrong document object/referencing.

Now that it's working... Time to figure out how to put it in a drawing table!
