Wish: Packing and saving the result of my Search

[Trast]

After searching out for example all text files on the disk so want
I pack them in their respective libraries, how can I do this?

[sqa_wizard]

Well, after the search has been done, just press button "Feed to listbox"
This will display your found files at TC file list and you can pack, copy or move as usual.

Thank you very much sqa_wizard
but I have done but did not have to just packing of all there is
in their library. I try to explain below, otherwise, I continue on.

Hmm, all I wanted was that when the search list created with all files in different directories,
so I wanted it to go to create A Rar-file in the various libraries
with only the files that are in that particular library.

It should not be files from the search results in Rar-file
from the other libraries.

Trast, what are the libraries in your posts? And how do you want to sort text files by libraries?

Sorry, my bad English librarys = directories

Sort the results of search list there is no problem i think, I just sort
with the columns i created for example Directories.

The problem for me is to create the Rar-file for each directory
automatic because it is quite a number of directories.

About those rar-files.
1. Where do you want them placed - one in each directory that your search found - or all in one directory?
2. What do you want inside those rar-files - only the files you found at your search - or do you want all files in each directory that has a found file?

Maybe you could give an example of such a search/rar-packing task - for example, what do you search for, where do you want the rar-files created, what should the filename of the rar-file be, and what files should be packed to the rar-files.

Answer: A Rar file in each directory

2. What do you want inside those rar-files - only the files you found at your search - or do you want all files in each directory that has a found file?

Answer: Only the files in the directory must be included in the Rar file

Maybe you could give an example of such a search/rar-packing task - for example, what do you search for, where do you want the rar-files created, what should the filename of the rar-file be, and what files should be packed to the rar-files.

Answer:
Searches for this: *.Htm* ; *.Txt

When all this above is working correctly, I will delete all files
matched with the query and thus have the files still present but much
less with small files which takes unnecessary space.

[petermad]

Well, that is currently not possible - not in any easy way at least.

but much less with small files which takes unnecessary space.

If space is a concern, and you are using an NFTS formatted drive (most common on newer computers), then I recommend that you use the compression function of NTFS drives. Just right-click the directory you want compressed. Choose "propertries", click the "Advanced" button and choose "Compress content to save space" - click OK and choose "Apply the changes to this folder, subfolders and files".
