Edit Paths Dialog Box

Launch the Edit Paths in Files dialog box, double-click on a path, and click OK to launch the Edit Paths dialog box.

Each entry in the listbox of this dialog box represents a property that has the Path data type. The listbox contains many columns of information for each entry. The Path column displays the current value of the property. The current value can be a simple pathname, a relative pathname, or an absolute pathname. The Status column displays Empty when the current value of the property is an empty pathname. The Status column displays Not found when TestStand cannot find the pathname on disk. The File column displays the name of the file that contains the property. The Sequence column displays the name of the sequence, if any, that contains the property. The location column specifies the particular part of the sequence, such as a step type or one of the step groups, that contains the property. The Step column displays the name of the step or substep, if any, that contains the property. The Property column displays the name of the property.

  • Full Path —Shows the absolute pathname to which TestStand can resolve the current value of the selected path. TestStand searches for the file through the search paths you configure using the Edit Search Directories dialog box. If TestStand cannot find the file, the Full Path indicator shows Not found .
  • Change —Browses for the file to which you want the path value to refer.
  • Revert —Resets the selected path to the value it had when you initially opened the dialog box.
  • Replace —Launches the Replace Text in All Paths dialog box, in which you can change a substring in one or more of the path values. This is particularly useful for path values that are absolute pathnames. For example, if several pathnames begin with c:\myfiles , but the files are now in d:\testfiles , you can click Replace to change all instances of c:\myfiles in the list to d:\testfiles .
