Mathematical expressions with TeamCity build number parameter

Hi! After a brief search on how to do arithmetic in Windows command prompt, I came across this post:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20060504-13/?p=31313

I think something like this should work:

set n=%dep.demoPipeline_Build.build.number%
set /a m=%n%-10
del "C:\My_Artifacts\app_%m%.war"

Why do you need it, though? If this is to clean up the artifacts from the old builds, please use the built-in Clean-up feature:

Hi Anatoly Cherenkov,

Thank you for your reply. I tried this but TeamCity didn't recognize "m" as a parameter. I found this in log.

Could Not Find C:\My_Artifacts\app_.war

Pipeline ran successfully but it didn't delete the war.

Reason for the need - I have separate directory for built war files. But I need only recent war files and I need to maintain the storage consistency automatically.

As I understand the problem is that the build configuration now shows the required m parameter. You resolve that by adding a build configuration parameter named m with the value %m%.

Hi,

This is working for me...FYI. Thanks.

set /a oldBuildNumber = %dep.demoPipeline_Build.build.number% - 10
del "C:\My_Artifacts\app_%%oldBuildNumber%%.war"
