Title: how to create project given list of source files
Post by: ludoguri on May 12, 2020, 09:28:58 am

Hello. I have a text file containing list of Fortran source files than can be compiled into an executable using gfortran. Can I create create a project file by importing this list rather than typing the source file names manually?

No, as fas as I know. You can create and empty project and then use the "add recursive" command.

You could probably create a squirrel script that does the job...

let me try...

OK, here is a basic script:

Code

local pm = GetProjectManager();
if (IsNull(pm))
{
    ShowError(_T("Could not query the project manager. Cannot continue."));
    return 0;
}

local p = pm.GetActiveProject();

// File with the source files separated by \n
// for example:
// '''''''''''''''''''
// a.cpp
// b.cpp
// '''''''''''''''''''
local filecontent = IO.ReadFileContents (_T("D:\\ddddd\\fileList.txt"));

// Split the files in lines
local fileList = GetArrayFromString(filecontent, _T("\n"), true);
print(_T("Files to load:"));
for(local i = 0; i < fileList.GetCount(); i++)
{
	print(fileList.Item(i) + _T("\n"));   // Print the files in the list, as a check
}

// Base path, the files in the text files are relative in my case. If they are absolute you can remove this
local basePath = _T("D:\\ddddd\\src\\");
for(local i = 0; i < fileList.GetCount(); i++)
{
        // Create file path
	local filePath = basePath + fileList.Item(i);
	// Add to all build targets
	for(local a = 0; a <= p.GetBuildTargetsCount(); a++)
	    pm.AddFileToProject(filePath, p, a);
}
// Save the project. This triggers also an update of the project UI
pm.SaveAllProjects();

This works on windows, you have to replace the paths accordingly on linux...
the example file D:\ddddd\fileList.txt

Code

a.cpp
b.cpp

the two source files are in D:\ddddd\src\

To use the scirpt:
1) Create a text document and C&P the top script
2) Replace the paths in the script with the paths and files on your system
3) Save the text document, and rename it to "myImportScript.script"
4) Start codeblocks
5) Create or open the project, where the files should be imported
6) View->Scripting console
7) In the opening window select "Load from file" the second button near the command input field
8) Enjoy
