Please let me know on commandline VSS...

[sasj0e]

Hi,
I need to automate certain operations on VSS and hence I am thinking of writing a batch file to do so.
I need to connect to vss server,login to specific database,set working directory,do get latest and execute few other batch files on the latest files.
This needs a batch file,which can do all the above operations,following from connection to vss server.
I tried, using the "ss get test.c" as specified in msdn. But I am prompted to enter username and password.
On providing username and password, its flags error saying <username> is not found.But I am able to login to vss from gui.
Could any body tell me whats wrong?and what should I do?
Thanks,
Sas

Hi,

Make sure you are pointing at the right srcsafe.ini (there may be more than one of these on your system).

SET SSDIR=C:\SS

Then for example, the command
ss Project -YUser
or
ss Project -YUser,Password

should print the current project.

I believe there is also an automation object for sourcesafe that you can get from the microsoft site.
