A customer wants a small change to a previous deployment.
They have returned the original sequence file to me but the deployment is about two years old.
Is there anyway that I can get the TestStand Version number from the old sequence file so that I will know which version to save it in.
I am currently using TestStand 4.2.1.83.
Thanks,
Sean

Sean,
you can open the seq-file using wordpad and take a look.
hope this helps,

There's a lot of strange characters but it says "4.1 (4.1.0.228)" in the first line.
I'm assuming that's the version number.
Thanks a lot Norbert.

Just want to add, there is also an API for this in the Engine, however if you just need to check a few files manually then what Norbert suggested is probably easier. The API is:
String fileVersion = Engine.GetFileInformation(filePath).GetFileFormatVersion();
Hope this helps,

What if the sequence file is in binary format, not INI style?
You see rubbish when open it with a text editor.
This is a possibility after some version of TS.

As Sean stated back in 2010, you can also read the version number in clear text. You can read some parts of the file in a text editor, the version number is one of those....
