Can "export" automatically overwrite an existing file?

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Good afternoon,

 

I'm executing a script generated by a ULP that exports all sheets of a

schematic to .png files.  The script command being executed is:

 

   export image filename.png;

 

If filename.png exists, the script stops and asks if it's okay to

overwrite.  Is there a way I can force export to overwrite without

asking the user?  I tried using "remove" to delete the file first, and

it asks the user for confirmation.

 

Thanks,

    - Chuck

    I found a work around... I have to keep a list of all the files that

    will be overwritten, and do

     

        string FileNames[];

        ... // Populate the FileNames array

        system("rm " + strjoin(FileNames, ' '));

     

    just prior to exiting the ulp.

     

    Maybe there's an argument to the export script command that will do this

    for me.

     

    Thanks,

        - Chuck

    set confirm yes;

    export image filename.png;

    set confirm off;

     

    The "SET Confirm" is used to tell EAGLE to automatically confirm

    questions with the desired answer (in this case, answer 'overwrite the

    file?' with 'Yes'). Should be used only sparingly, and be switched off

    immediately after use - otherwise, other dialogs might also get an

    unwanted automatic answer.

    Nice function but only available on the latest 5.11 release.
