newbie-A Way to get a text file of all source code?

I have an application built( .EXE) in VFP 9.0.

I would like to put ALL of the code in Classes, forms into a text
file.

Is there an easy way to do that?

TIA

Your basic tool is the Class Browser, which can open forms as well as
class libraries. Use the "View Class Code" button to see all the class
or form code as a .prg file (but don't try running the .prg file, it
will probably fail.)

And to automate it, use the _oBrowser public memory variable. After you DO
(_BROWSER), _obrowser will hold an object reference to it and pretty much
splay open all of its functionality to your code.

Most people haven't read the help file entry on the class browser. There's a
TON of useful stuff in there.

If all you have is the exe, you will probably need a tool like ReFox.

He did not clarify as to why he wanted all the source code in one text file.
So, all I can say is for me, I remember a long time ago I wanted that to see
how many lines of code were in my program. I don't know that that is the
reason but if it is just for a count then you can use aDir and open each
table in the *.SCX and VCX and scan the tables and just do a MEMLINES on the
methods field (as well as a few others if you want to count properties as
lines of code also).

Other than knowing how many lines of code your program is, I can't see any
reason why one would want to do that.

Many people new to VFP from previous versions just *need* to see code.

Another valid reason is Source Control which may not work on binaries. (And
nobody has mentioned SCCTEXT.PRG in this thread yet -- that'll generate
"text" from .SCX and .VCX files.)

Ya - there's 2 easy ways to do this.

Assuming you have a VFP Project File:

1. use the Documenting Wizard, select new folder for the output files it
generates. ONE of the files is 'The Complete ASCII REPRESENTATION of that
project' . Please note - if it burps whilst you are generating the output
files, you've got a problem in yer project file that you'll need to resolve
. You can see the Documenting Wizard from the IDE.

2. use PDM - see http://leafe.com/dls/vfp or
http://gorila.netlab.cz/pdm.html for the latest. It generates HTML with a
TOC, which I find quite useful.

Good Luck !
