How to get the list of step name of the TestStand Sequence ?

[BigDrum]

I have a sequence file of subsequence and steps. How can I get a list of the name of the sub-sequence(and steps in it) and other steps in text or word format without running the sequence?  

I tried "save as" save the sequence file in to a xml file and parse it but no luck.

Thank you so much!

Even I uncheck all of the options, it still has a lot more than just the step names. Thank you for your help!

If you are willing to step into the API, this would be quite easy

Do you mean step in the sequence?  Please give a little bit more detail or screen shot. Thank you so much!

Not sure if all you want is the list of step names as text, but you can just select steps in the sequence editor, hit <Ctrl-C> and then paste in a text editor.

Yes, that is kind of what I need. After paste to word, I have to adjust the indentation manually though. That is a small task not worth time to write a script.

Thank you!

I meant If you wann use the API....

Yet seems you got a solution

Yes, step in the sequence.

From this seq

  

I want

but after copy paste, I got this which need to manually fix the indentation. It is ok if the sequence is not long and not many layers of indentation, but it is a pain if the sequence is complex.

If the build in possiblities are not sufficient for you, you have to implement your own taylored solution using the TestStand API
