Match Generated Files To Their DCRs

Hi:

Is it possible, based on the path of a given generated file, to discover its corresponding DCR? If not, are there other ways to achieve this? Thanks.

You can by running iwextattr on the generated file and then reading the manual

As Nipper responded - iwextattr will give you the authoritative information - but a well designed implementation (IMO) will use the same base filename for both DCR and generated file as well as the same relative path information - e.g.: If I have a generated file located (relative to the root of the workarea) as ./content/about/about.html - I would expect to find the correspnding DCR (relative to the particular category/data-type/data/ directory) as ./content/about/about.dcr (the extension is not required, but generally a good practice)
