Import scripts in repository

[MatthiasVDE]

How can I import existing scripts from one repository to another repository?

[Geert Bellekens]

import/export reference data.

See also my refdata splitter for a more finegrained control of which scripts to include in the refdata file.

That functionality uses xml files, but how does it works for *.vbs files?

It doesn't. You can export scripts with the Save As button, but you can't import them that way.

Only way to get a .vbs file into a project (that I know of, and I don't know everything) is to open it in an editor, copy the text, create a new script in the EA project and paste.

I also have a script to import/export script via .vbs files:
Load scripts: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Framework/Tools/Script%20Management/LoadScripts.vbs
Save Scripts: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Framework/Tools/Script%20Management/SaveAllScripts.vbs

But using refdata import/export is the preferred way.

I'll try that script Geert, but doesn't that LoadScripts.vbs script has dependencies on other scripts that you need to import/create first?

[Geert Bellekens]

You can also try https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Framework/Tools/Script%20Management/LoadScriptsBootstrap.vbs, but really you should not do it this way.

Use refdata import/export instead; it'll save you some headaches in the future.
