Upgrade fb7 to fb8 and the "Include Project" action

(version FinalBuilder 8.0.0.1864)
(to link perhaps with this Topic ID 16679)

Hi,

With the “Batch project upgrade”, we have the possibility to upgrade (recursively) all projects from FinalBuilder7 to FinalBuilder8.
Example: 
- all projects “fbz7” files are converted to “fbz8” files
- all projects “fbp7” files are converted to “fbp8” files
(we have 200 projects).

But several projects FinalBuilder are linked by the action “Include Project” action.
And these actions are not upgraded and the contents is always a “fbz7” or “fbp7” in the “project file” field in the “Include Project” action.

If I run my main FB8 project, he works correctly, but he calls always the child FB7 projects.

If I want use all FB8 projects (and remove all projects FB7) …

workarround n°1:
- open “manually”, each new file converted in fbz8 or fbp8
- launch “search and replace” and replace “.fbz7” by “.fbz8” and “.fbp7” by ".fbp8"

question:
workarround n°2:
In a loop or with notepad++, is it that I can do the following (yes or no ?):
- only with the “fbp8” files (and not with “fbz8”)
- launch “search and replace” text and replace “.fbz7” by “.fbz8” and “.fbp7” by ".fbp8"

Thanks.

Hi Fred,

There is another option using a FinalBuilder script. Similar to your script for updating fbz7 to fbz8 you could iterate all fbp8 files (also before they are re-zipped) and replace .fbz7 and .fbp7 with .fbz8 and .fbp8 respectively. The text find / replace action would work here and works on files as well.
