What is dirty dot? You mean coercion dot?

[socalscouser]

when the code isnt saved or compiled, the asterisk that appears next to the vi name.

Uday,

I have labview 2013 and i am looking to write code that goes through all my VIs and reports if the code has unsaved changes. i want to know if it can done through labview scripting. more like a vi analyser kind of a thing but i need to look through VIs in a certain folder.

Have you tried this VI Property?

VI property node, not even a scripting property called Modification >>  VIModificationsBit Set

I haven't used it myself,  but searching the properties, that looks like the right one.
