MadCap Software Forums

Hi,

is there a possibility to get a list of all conditions used in a file (html or flsnp)?

For example, I created a snippet that uses five different snippet conditions. Now I want to get an overview of all these conditions without clicking every paragraph that has a condition and writing down these conditions (that's what I'm doing now). So the "report" basically could look like this:

I tried some reports but they didn't help and are also created for the whole project - I only need a report for a single file

Best regards

You could try Find & Replace and search for the text MadCap:conditions="*" with the following settings:

• Find in: Current Document
• Find in Source Code
• Search type: Wildcards

I think that should get you everything, and you can export from the find window if you need to!

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I really like this idea but unfortunately Flare's find feature doesn't like it the same way. The search results window does not show the complete search result in the code, but only a fraction of the code. Even exporting to CSV does not make it better.
It looks like this:
Unfortunately, even with this solution, the problem would still be that I would have to go through the search results and cross out conditions found twice (or even more often).

This idea might not get you all the way there, but it can help nonetheless...

With the topic or snippet open in the XML Editor, open the View Links window. (I have that window permanently docked to the right of the XML Editor, along with others such as the Styles window.) The Linked To list at the bottom right will list all other files the topic or snippet links to, including condition sets (.flcts). You'll still need to ascertain exactly which conditions in the linked condition sets are referenced in the topic or snippet.

Hi Nita,

thank you! This helps a lot.

Maybe someday Madcap adds this feature to Flare
