SUMMARY

When debugging and troubleshooting, you may need to determine what file inside a project corresponds to a file in the SourceSafe database.

MORE INFORMATION

Use the following undocumented command lines:

      To Find                       Use This Command Line
      ------------------------------------------------------------------

      Project file                  SS PHYSICAL <Project Path>
      Certain file in a project     SS PHYSICAL <Project Path>/<FileName>
      All files in a project        SS PHYSICAL <Project Path> -R
                

Use the -o switch to redirect the output of the SS PHYSICAL command to a text file. For example:

      SS PHYSICAL -r $/ "-o@Filename.txt"
                

This command reports the physical names of all projects and files starting with the root project and directs this output to a file named Filename.txt.
