a tool that removes all VIs not in memory, in a folder and its subfolders

Anybody have such a tool they'd share?

Would you settle for the invers function i.e. copies all VI's in memory to a new location ?

In LV 7.1 and prior that would be save with options single prompt preserve hierachy

In LV 8.X and forward, create a source distribution with similar settings.

Otherwise, please ignore this post.

Theres a property of application called All VIs in memory. This will give you an array of VI names. Now get all the files in a directory using List Folder.vi, search the array of VIs in memory for each file, if it's not found, delete it.

That'll work, thanks.

Also, I was just playing around with this and remembered that there is a VI in the advanced file functions palette called Recursive File List.vi. I think it's new in 8.2, so if you have it you can use it to get filenames for all subfolders as well.
