Remove VS Solution Binding From FB project

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

We have a client that would like a zipped copy of a Visual Studio solution to download, run, and examine.  I'm able to automate this, but when he opens the solution, he gets prompted about source control.  To keep this from happening, I would like to automate unbinding the solution from source control before I zip it up. 

Typically, this is done in Source Control Options in VS.  Any tips on the best automated way to do this? 

Related to this, I tried replacing the source code section in .sln

Find (Use * for wildcards checked):
GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution*EndGlobalSection

But always got 0 matches.  I assume this is because of newline characters, or something.  Any suggestions on the best way to fix this? My regex is rusty, but GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution[./r/n]*EndGlobalSection didn't match anything either.  An example of what I'm trying to match is:

GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution
        SccNumberOfProjects = 3
        SccLocalPath0 = .
        CanCheckoutShared = false
        SccProjectUniqueName1 = BenefitsEnrollment\\BenefitsEnrollment.csproj
        SccLocalPath1 = .
        CanCheckoutShared = false
        SccProjectFilePathRelativizedFromConnection1 = BenefitsEnrollment\\
        SccProjectUniqueName2 = BenefitsEnrollment.Requirements\\BenefitsEnrollment.Requirements.csproj
        SccLocalPath2 = BenefitsEnrollment.Requirements
        CanCheckoutShared = false
    EndGlobalSection

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

This is actually a limitation in the way the regular expression component we use matches strings. We’ll add a feature to the action shortly which lets you explicitly say “wildcards match across new lines”, but for now this Regular Expression will do the trick:

(?s)GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl).*EndGlobalSection
