( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe does have an OLE module (certainly as of v6.0c) - you may have to specify you want to install it when you install Sourcesafe, I can't remember.

You then need to read up on Win32::OLE, and the difficult to find VSS automation documentation.

Following this, you'll need something like this to load the VSS library:

my $vss = Win32::OLE->new('SourceSafe.0') || die "Can't create VSS obj +ect\n"; $vss->Open($vssINI, $vssUser, $vssPass); die "Error Opening VSS db: " . Win32::OLE->LastError() if Win32::OLE-> +LastError() != 0;

(where $vssINI is the full path and filename of the INI file of the SourceSafe database you want to open.)

Subsequently, you can use the various objects and methods in the VSS docs to manipulate VSS resources. The VSS OLE interface isn't the most pleasant to work with, but it does work (mostly)...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
