Copy Select Steps from Sequence to a new Sequence Programmatically

[Grasshopper]

I have a sequence that calls a sequence file ( decided at run-time ) and when that sequence ( only 1 in this file ) has a step that fails it is stored in the external program.  What I'd like to do is create a new sequence ( on the fly ), "extract" ( copy ) the steps that failed from the sequence I ran to the new sequence, and run the new sequence. 1. Best way to do that? 2. What happens to the preconditions, preexpressions, postexpressions of the steps when they're copied? Thanks.

Hi,

There is an example in the TestStand\examples\tools\ folder which should help you. Also in the Programmers Help.

There are some additional links which might also help (although these are for an early TestStand version):

You will need to use the Clone method rather than the NewStep and this should create a copy of your steps, including all the properties such as pre-conditions, pre-expressions etc.

also this example may helps, http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=2321&query.id=85838#M2321

but going a search in the forum will come up with other useful links.

Hope this helps
