Get Codesys profile via batch

2020-02-27T14:59:15.367000Z

Hi M.Keller and thank you for your answer.

okay I may not have expressed myself very well, sorry. I need to read the profile before I start CoDeSys and execute my python script. I need to read it in my batch file (outside of the CoDeSys IDE), where I start CoDeSys, so that I can do something like:

start "" CoDeSys.exe --profile=%CODESYS_PROFILE% --enablescripttracing --runscript=%PYTHON_PATH%

What I did now is to scan the Profiles folder (Default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\3S CODESYS\CODESYS\Profiles) and list all file names with a *profile extension. Afterwards I can choose the profile I want and store it in a variable. The batch script code looks like follows(you should be able to execute it, if CoDeSys is installed in the specified directory):

@echo off
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\3S CODESYS\CODESYS\Profiles
echo List all installed CoDeSys profiles:
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /a count = 0
for %%f in (*.profile) do  (
   set /a count += 1
   echo !count!: %%~nf
)
endlocal
rem Choose profile
echo(
SET /p PROFILE_NUMB=Choose the profile you want to use by entering a number: 
rem Get profile
setlocal enableextensions enabledelayedexpansion
set /a count = 0
for %%f in (*.profile) do  (
   set /a count += 1
   if !count!==%PROFILE_NUMB% (
      SET CODESYSPROFILE=%%~nf
      goto commonExit
   )
)
endlocal
:commonExit
echo %CODESYSPROFILE%
pause
exit

Can you give me a short feedback on this solution? I guess it is not guaranteed, that it will work in the future. Iam also grateful for further suggestions on how to solve this.

Hi P_Groebner.

You can find the profile name inside the content of .

Here some example code:

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
print("--- sys.version")
print(sys.version)

Output from CODESYS V3.5 SP11:

--- sys.version
2.7.7 (CODESYS.exe CODESYS V3.5 SP11, ScriptEngine.plugin 3.5.11.0)

I think the best way to get the profile name is to match the executable name, which you can get from , and the plug-in name 'ScriptEngine.plugin' with the leading comma and extract what is between them.

Hello,

I am trying to start CoDeSys with a batch file like this and execute a python script afterwards:

start "" CoDeSys.exe --profile="CODESYS V3.5 SP10 Patch 4" --enablescripttracing --runscript=%PYTHON_PATH% --scriptargs=%XML_PATH%

This works well so far but I need to pass the --profile argument more generic. So is there a way to read the installed CoDeSys profile from the used computer in a batch script?
If not...is it possible to do some hack? I saw a folder called "Profiles" in the Codesys installation folder. Maybe I could scan the file names there to get the latest installed profile.

Greetings
