Backup non-saved variables

[leandro.martins]

I'm trying to find a way to list the current value of a set of non-saved variables, e.g. Sys.P[i]

I was reading about the backup command, but it only works with the saved variables.

If I add those variable to the pp_custom_save.tpl, will the backup command return the variables added to the template?
Or is there a different command, similar to the backup, that could list the current values of the variables present in pp_custom_save.tpl?

Another question related with the backup command, is there a way to pipe the output to a file?

I would like to create another file in the same format of the pp_save.cfg.
Comparing this file with the .cfg, would make it possible to check if some change happened from the terminal.

You could just use “P1..100” to report P-vars.

From the Linux prompt (in a writable directory like “/var/ftp/gather”) you could use:

gpascii <<< 'backup Motor[1].' >> backup.txt

Thank you Steve
Is it possible use

gpascii -i

to execute the pp_save.tpl (or a custom template) to create the backup file?

I've already figure it out how to do it.

I used the following command:

gpascii -i"/var/ftp/usrflash/<Project-name>/Configuration/pp_save.tpl" >> /var/ftp/gather/backup.txt
