Module path changed, now all my steps can't find the dll

[swja]

I moved the cvi dll that I wrote and now all the steps in my sequence file complain that they can't find the dll. Each one has the old file location.  Is there a way to update all of them without individual changing them?

thanks

Hi swja,

If that happens to me, i do in a strange way. But i think is extremly effectiv.

1.) Save your seq. as ini. format.

2.) Make a copy! Rename the PostFix to .cpp or .c 

3.) Open it with VisualStudio or CVi  (or a raw Text Tool that support Search and Replace)

4.) Search and Replace the path/name.dll over the hole file

5.) Save it

6.) Rename it to .seq

Thats it .

TestStand includes a find and replace functionality in the Edit menu.  It's probably easier to use that than to try to change the raw format of the file directly.

Thank YOU!!,   Both solutions work very well. 

Rather than converting to an ini,  I converted to a xml ( the newer supported format) using Edit-> Seq file properties. 

Also, it is very useful that the Edit->Find Replace does an intelligent search of the decoded binary file which means you don't have to change the file to xml format, as you said.
