Hi Stéphane, fth0, Klaus,
Thanks for your responses. I have done some digging/reading...
Looking at
https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/manager/chooser/UIChooserAbstractModel.cpp
and the functions prefixToString() and optionToString(), I see the characters
that define group and machine, but there are some other characters which don't
make sense...but that I don't believe affects my situation. That 'gc' and 'go'
both refer to groups, that fixes my immediate issue.
Longer term, I will ditch parsing the XML configuration file as this is chasing
my tail at best! After some investigation, I believe I can use:
VBoxManage list vms --long
to give me each machine's name, UUID and group. Hopefully this works as
expected as this is preferable to calling the API via a COM wrapper or the web
server interface.
Thanks again for the help,
Bernard.
