aa4D_M_Get_Build_4D_Text_Call
Overview
This page documents aa4D_M_Get_Build_4D_Text_Call in the 4D_Info_Report reference.
Description
The aa4D_M_Get_Build_4D_Text_call command allows you to display (or retrieve) the detail of the version and build number of an executable or a plug-in. It works cross-platform, meaning that you can get the build number of an executable file on MacOS, or parse the «Info.plist» of a Mac Application on Windows. (When you parse a file that contains a «/contents/info.plist», this is the file to select in the dialog to retrieve the information). If no parameter is passed, a dialog to select the file is displayed, and the result is displayed in an Alert. If you pass a pointer to a text variable as a first parameter, the content of the Alert will be redirected to the pointed text variable. If you pass a pointer to a text variable as a second parameter, the pointed text variable must contain the full pathname of the file to be examined.
