create a text file of file(name)s

[extelligenzia]

Hi
i am looking for an app thats create a text file with a list of the files (name) in the panes. Basically like using the "dir" command, but my search pattern is often too complex to write in a dir command, and as it is i use totalcommander
I have tried 2 apps, but they both create a zip / structured files.

so the result of the app should be like:

textfilemadebytotalcommanderapp.txt:

c:\msi\doc\filea.jpg
c:\msi\base\fileb.mdb
...
...

I found and use makebat app, which saves the result as a "text" file

Use menu Mark -> Copy Names with Path to Clipboard

You can use one of these internal commands:

cm_SaveSelectionToFile=2031;Save file selection to file
cm_SaveSelectionToFileA=2041;Save file selection to file (ANSI)
cm_SaveSelectionToFileW=2042;Save file selection to file (Unicode)

In the next version of my Extended Menus - there is a comprehensive section with copying og file names: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/copyfilenamesmenu.png

And a section for using the saved fileselection to reselect files: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/getselectionmenu.png

Peter, these "save selection" commands don't save full path by default.These are not the droids 2extelligenzia is looking for.

If he wants full path he has to either go via the clipboard with: cm_CopyFullNamesToClip or cm_CopyNetNamesToClip

Or he can make em_commands like these:

Code: Select all

em_copynamestofileA]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param=if exist "%P" copy "%L" "%PSELECTEDFILES.txt"
menu=Copy selected filenames with full path to file in current folder (ANSI)
iconic=1

Code: Select all

[em_copynamestofileB]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param=if "%P" copy "%WL" "%PSELECTEDFILES.txt"
menu=Copy selected filenames with full path to file in current folder (Unicode)
iconic=1

Code: Select all

[em_copynamestofileC]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param=if exist "%P" copy "%UL" "%PSELECTEDFILES.txt"
menu=Copy selected filenames with full path to file in current folder (UTF-8)
iconic=1

I have tried your codes out of interest.

Here are just two small remarks:
- [em_copynamestofileA]
- param=if exist "%P" copy "%WL" "%PSELECTEDFILES.txt"

Then buttons also work with these em_commands.

Karl

Did I say anything else before?

- param=if exist "%P" copy "%WL" "%PSELECTEDFILES.txt"

Thanks - I have edited my previous post.

I actually simplified the en_commands from my Extended Menus, and failed to delete the "not" for that command in the process.

You suggested to use the Menu, I suggested to use the corresponding cm_command - but apart from that - no, you didn't.

If you manipulate ansi file name, you can use TCBL to extract and filter filename only !

If you want unicode textfile, you can use the following:

Code: Select all

command %comspec% /c
parameters:cd %P&&copy /Y %WF  ListFile.txt
...

unfortunatelly it will not work inside Zip or FileSystem plugin...
L is for FileName with Path
F is for FileName only

[- Edited \c \y to /C /Y as petermad advise /added cd%P&& to stop/protect in VitualFolder, ftp, Zip,......]

[petermad]

2nsp

parameters: copy \Y %WF ListFile.txt

It should be /Y not \Y - but apparently it is not necessary when run from inside TC in an em_command, a button or TC' commandline

And not on FTP-sites either.

That is why I do the test:

Code: Select all

if exist %P

(see: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=369080#p369080) - to not even try to copy on those places.
