List everything by name

[ZippyDSMlee]

Is there an option to list files and folders by name? Trying to find a GUI or dup finder that do that. I have a few hundred files and folders that are bad but my archives are individually packed so i need to find just them.

Can you list files and folders by name in the same group rather than folders and files being grouped separately?


Example

name1.file
name2.folder
name3.file
name4.file
name5.folder
name6.folder
name7.file

The search function in TC allows to search for files that are listed in a text file: @c:\listoffiles.txt. Press F1 in Search function to read more about it.

The problem is how can I drag and drop them from a list? and how can I find a rar file of a folder? I have a mix of doc and rar files to compare then grab the filename-2.rar file so i can unpack it.

That sounds like you want to sort folder mixed between files
A File.txt
Best Videos Folder\
Copy A File.txt
Download Folder\

That is not possible, only
Best Videos Folder\
Download Folder\
A File.txt
Copy A File.txt



But do we have two different questions in this thread? Stefan is confused , but it's late here in Germany, perhaps time to sleep.

Heh I’ve fried what little brains I have trying to figure out how to do this without heavy coding in autohotkey or excel.

My goal is to compare/list bad files and folders to a huge folder of good rar archives and copy the good rar archives to a folder I can then just unpack everything too then delete the copies and move the good files back to my in use current document folder.

I’ve been looking though file finder programs and dup file programs but so far nothing wants to create a lsit of stuff to move. And since something’s use nonstandard characters I can’t just use a simple powershell/Cmd line to do it. ><

If a GUI like TC can list them all by name then I can do it in a couple days manfully.

So you want to list duplicate files, with one location being your local copy, 2nd is the same set of files in different archives, correct?
TC has a built-in search for duplicate files:

Search for (Alt+F7) -> Advanced -> Find duplicate files
All you'd need to do is tick these options, and fill the "Search in:" field in the main tab with:
path_to_your_local_files;path_to_your_archives
[✓]Search archives

After the search result is fed to a list box, press "select files" (numpad +) for detailed selection options.


But like you said, making a copy of these files (from the archives to the corrupted files) is a lot of work, though, once you identified the archive files, using TC's sync tool might help (one side local files, 2nd side archive), at least when the dir structure didn't change.
