How to select the first 1000 or 900 files?

[canyin]

When you have files in a folder (ex. 5000), how to Select the first 1000 or 900 files, creating a button with this parameter on the button bar?

Take a look here: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=298324#298324


Based on Romans script:

Select-Amount-Of-Files-small.AHK

Code: Select all

;   Here is a shorter AHK script:

; First select first wanted file manually by hand yourself.
; Next execute this script to select %OutputVar% times down.

WinActivate, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
WinWaitActive, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD

; cm_GoToFirstFile=2050;Place cursor on first file in list
; PostMessage, 1075, 2050

msg  = Purpose: Select a bunch of items`n
msg = %msg%1) Select first item(s) yourself.`n
msg = %msg%2) Run this script.`n
msg = %msg%3) Enter below an amount of how many to select down.
InputBox, OutputVar, TC AHK script, %msg%

SendInput, {Insert %OutputVar%}	

AHK v1.1.22.9

Batch file is also possible:
1. Enumerate files in folder and stop at desired set /A counter value, outputting every name to temporary file list.txt.
2. Copy list to clipboard: type list.txt | clip.
3. Pass cm_LoadSelectionFromClip command to TC with a tool like TCMC or TCFS2: TCFS2 /ef tcm(2033).
