Hi,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is any way to get list of “Recently used files” from ACT or in Workbench scripting console, besides manually digging in %appdata%ANSYSvXXX<\/span>FileManagement.XML ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is my reason: Simple. My projects are located in deep path which is not shown in detail inside Workbench GUI>Files, but it is crucial for me to know what path these files are located. My paths are names of general projects, and files names have details on contents.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EDIT…:
my paths are e.g. \"D:\"\\Project_2020\\EFA\\OPT\\1_solve\\EFA1_rod_optimisation_PDM20200322_R19.wbpj<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So i made not  an solution myself as follows.<\/p>\n

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
PATH_IN = “C:\\Users\\zws\\AppData\\RoamingAnsys\\v190\\UserRegFiles_2027930923\\FileManagement.XML”
 import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET<\/p>\n

tree = ET.parse(PATH_IN)
root = tree.getroot()<\/p>\n

if 1==2:
    print tree._root.tag
    print tree._root._children[0].tag
    print tree._root._children[0].keys() #
    print tree._root._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0].tag #
    print tree._root._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0].keys() #
    print tree._root._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0].get(‘Value’)<\/p>\n

vlst_ = tree._root._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0]._children[0].get(‘Value’)<\/p>\n

for i in zip(range(100),):
    print i<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
