Using the names of Named Sessions in batch files

[Lummo]

I'm automating some of my folder synchronisations. I have a script containing:

# Load the Date Compare session.
load "\\I7-3770\htdocs <--> D:\htdocs"

Problem is that BC complains that it can see two "\\I7-3770\htdocs <--> D:\htdocs" sessions. It's right! I have my named session folders structured:

Content Comparisons

...
\\I7-3770\htdocs <--> D:\htdocs
...

Date Comparisons

...
\\I7-3770\htdocs <--> D:\htdocs
...

Is there a syntax for referencing the 'folder' tree when loading named sessions?

Hello,

Yes. You would use either:
load "Sub Folder\SessionName"
for the path in a sub folder or
load ".\SessionName"
for a session on the base level.

Hello Aaron,

Thank you for that. That worked using the "\" as a 'folder separator. BC didn't get confused by my use of the double back slash in my named session. So:

load "i7-3770 <--> Apteryx\Date Comparisons\\\I7-3770\htdocs <--> D:\htdocs"

worked just fine for me.

By the way, are comparisons against the path and named sessions case sensitive (as per Linux etc.) or insensitive (as per Windows)?

[Aaron]

Case insensitive. We do not allow duplicate names with only a case difference for sessions.
