batch add files to visual studio projects while preserving the directory structure.

vsp

manipulate visual studio projects, such as:

1. batch add files while preserving the directory structure
2. ...

motivation

Microsoft Visual Studio is a good tool to study existing code because:

• syntax parser with full language semantics
• easily find inside entire solution
• ...

However, It will waste some time to configure the project. e.g. it's hard to batch add files while keep their existing directory structure.

usage

vsp add projectfile destdir

Batch add files while preserving the directory structure.

Type vsp --help for more information.

examples

This will add all files inside C:\src\mona to mona.vcxproj, preserving the folder structure.

vsp add "C:\src\mona.vcxproj" C:\src\mona

This will add all files inside Z:\src\security\vault\VaultEngine to VaultEngine.vcxproj, item paths in project file will like $(TsSrc)\security\vault\VaultEngine\.... The folder structure inside project are the same as they are in Z:\src\security\vault\VaultEngine folder.

vsdir "C:\study\vault\VaultEngine\VaultEngine.vcxproj" Z:\src\security\vault\VaultEngine --folding-var=TsSrc:Z:\src --filter-prefix=*

TODO

• option to convert existing items to SourceRoot format
• split 'nicerGetoptPrinter' to wind
