Is there any method/technique/feature to add automatically incremented build number to the code (managed by software or tool)? the build number can be used for viewing (hence traceability of the code).
I created a text file (template.txt) and updated
// Test file for SubWCRev char *Revision = "$WCREV$"; char *Revision16 = "$WCREV&0xFF$"; char *Revisionp100 = "$WCREV+100$"; char *Revisionm100 = "$WCREV-100$"; char *Modified = "$WCMODS?Modified:Not modified$"; char *Unversioned = "$WCUNVER?Unversioned items found:no unversioned items$"; char *Date = "$WCDATE$"; ... // as given on the site #if $WCMODS?1:0$ #error Source is modified #endif
then saved it as .tmpl file.
SubWCRev D:\MyLPC1788\Codes\Development Board\Local D:\MyLPC1788\Codes\Development Board\template.tmpl D:\MyLPC1788\Codes\Development Board\version.h -nmdfe
But the nothing change in the version.h file. So i changed the name to version.txt but no updates. What is the mistake that i am committing?

Did you try to figure it out yourself? First of all, do you actually need all those command line switches: "-nmdfe"? I don't think they mean what you think they mean. And I don't think you actually need them. Second, you really should enclose file paths in quotes. Those spaces in directory names can easily create problems.

Thank you. Double inverted commas got me the required output.

Or better yet, one should really just not use spaces in file and directory names. They simply aren't worth the grief they routinely cause. Blanks in filenames just don't mix well with command-line oriented tools like compilers.
Absolutely!
(and, of course, "filenames" includes folder names)
