Extracting Files from a Standard Library

To extract files from a standard library, enter the following command:

Operating System

Syntax
UNIX
Windows
prolib library-name
-extract file-name [ file-name ] ...

library-name

Specifies the name of the library with the file you want to extract.

file-name

Specifies the name of the file. You can specify more than one file at a time.

When you extract a file from a library, PROLIB copies the file and places it in its original directory. Depending on how you add a file to a library, PROLIB extracts differently:

NOTE: If you specify the -yank parameter instead of -extract, Progress strips everything but the filename from the pathname and places the file in your current directory.

If the file you are extracting (or yanking) already exists in the directory outside of the library, PROLIB displays the following message:

File file-name already exists. Do you want to replace it?
Please answer ’yes’ or ’no’ or ’rename’ to assign new name: 

where file-name is the pathname of the file you are extracting (or yanking). If you answer yes, PROLIB overwrites the file. If you answer no, PROLIB does not overwrite the file. If you answer rename, PROLIB displays the following message:

Enter new name to use for extracted file file-name --> 

where file-name is the pathname of the file you are extracting (or yanking). After you enter the pathname, PROLIB gives the file the new pathname and places it in the appropriate directory.
