MakeProgram - how to change the name & extension of the output file?-Maarten-07-08-2021
I'm generating robot program files via the RoboDK API using "MakeProgram". How do I change the name and the extension of the output file?
The code I use below outputs the program 'myProgram' as the file 'myProgram.py'. I would like to change the filename to e.g. 'myProgram_1.py' or 'myProgram_2.txt', without changing the name of the program itself:
Code:
from robolink import * # RoboDK API
from robodk import * # Robot toolbox
RDK = Robolink()
myProgramItem = RDK.Item('myProgram',ITEM_TYPE_PROGRAM) # Get the program item named 'myProgram'
myProgramItem.MakeProgram('',RUNMODE_MAKE_ROBOTPROG) # Export 'myProgram' to file.

I think you could do something like that before generating the program to change the name:
Code:
myProgramItem.setName('NewName')
But for the extension, it's coded in the post-processor.
So either you modify the post or you add a python command to your macro to get the file generated and change the extension. 100% sure it can be done.

谢谢,这很管用!重命名程序,export file, then rename program back to its original name.
