Command-line Options - WinSCP version in human and raw ways
Martin,
I wasn't able to find this on anywhere in docs.
The only way I was able to find to get WinSCP version is to run:
This will output on the first line WinSCP version.
I have just met with the requirement to check WinSCP version in scripting.
For example if someone is trying to run old version which doesn't support some command or trying to run incompatibility version then, for example, stop him.
The best way to do this one is to have in Command-line Options a parameter like:
Also we can have this one in Scripting and Task Automation - Commands.
and
The best close example for such command is in PHP.
They use PHP_VERSION_ID and I can check very easily:
or
For example I have PHP 5.6.19
Thank you!

I have just met with the requirement to check WinSCP version in scripting.
For example if someone is trying to run old version which doesn't support some command or trying to run incompatibility version then, for example, stop him.
The best way to do this one is to have in Command-line Options a parameter like:
/rawversion (may be also /version).
Also we can have this one in Scripting and Task Automation - Commands.
rawversion has to display it in raw way like: 50903 or may be 7136 (assuming that build version is always increasing).
and
version has to display it in human way like: WinSCP, Version 5.9.3 (Build 7136)
The best close example for such command is in PHP.
They use PHP_VERSION_ID and I can check very easily:
if (PHP_VERSION_ID < 50100) {
//do one thing
}else{
//do another thing
}if (PHP_VERSION_ID < 50207) {
define('PHP_MAJOR_VERSION', $version[0]);
define('PHP_MINOR_VERSION', $version[1]);
define('PHP_RELEASE_VERSION', $version[2]);
// and so on, ...
}// PHP_VERSION_ID is defined as a number, where the higher the number // is, the newer a PHP version is used. It's defined as used in the above // expression: // $version_id = $major_version * 10000 + $minor_version * 100 + $release_version;
For example I have PHP 5.6.19
print PHP_VERSION_ID; will give me 50619
Thank you!
