identifying a branch in TS

Hi,
I am writing a perl script to traverse through each of the directories in TeamSite and publish edition for all the existing branches (including any subbranches). How would I know that a directory (in the Windows filesystem) is a branch in TeamSite?

I can use the iwattrib CLT to get the number of workarea which is applicable only for branches
(e.g. iwattrib workareacount) and decide if a directory is a branch. A branch can exist without any workareas and I don't need to publish an edition for empty branch.

Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks.
Anna.

have a look at the directory name for an area in teamsite:

/default/main/myBranch/WORKAREA/blah
/default/main/myBranch/WORKAREA/blah1
/default/main/myBranch/STAGING
/default/main/myBranch/EDITION/
/default/main/myBranch/subbranch1/WORKAREA/blah

so, there is a clear pattern, which is easily cracked by a regex

If you post the code - I'll probably critique it for you ;-)
