No bug - changed to suggestion to support for %$CLIPNAMEQ0% [TC 11.50rc4] %$CLIPNAMEq1% does not work as described

[petermad]

In the help it says:

%$CLIPNAMEQ1%, %$CLIPNAMEQ2%, %$CLIPNAME_NEQ1%, %$CLIPNAME_NEQ2%
Like %$CLIPNAME1%, %$CLIPNAME2%, %$CLIPNAME_NE1%, %$CLIPNAME_NE2%, but surrounds name with double quotes if it contains at least one space, e.g. name 1.txt -> "name 1.txt". Use a lowercase 'q' to always surround name with double quotes.

But if I make a button like this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMSPEC% /K echo %$CLIPBOARDq1%

%COMMANDER_EXE%,2
Test %$CLIPBOARDq1%


-1

double quotes are still only added to names with a space. Probably because %COMSPEC% treats environment variables case insensitive.

And - would it be possible to make the Q parameter also work for all lines - that is: support %$CLIPBOARDQ0%

But if I make a button like this:

The above quote doesn't mention CLIPBOARD*. I don't see a problem.

%COMSPEC% /K echo %$CLIPBOARDq1%

Even logically, it could only be 1q.

would it be possible to make the Q parameter also work for all lines - that is: support %$CLIPBOARDQ0%

For what purposes? It was like this:

Code: Select all

1
"2"
3

And you want "1 "2" 3". What for? Where is it needed?

[petermad]

Sorry - I got a wrong button mixed up in the bug report - there is no bug - %$CLIPNAMEq1% does work as described in the Help.

%$CLIPBOARDq1% (as used in the button here above) actually does work even though it is not mentioned in the Help, but %$CLIPNAMEq1% only works for names with a space.

I would still like that the Q parameter could also be used for %$CLIPNAMEQ0% and %$CLIPNAMEq0% - so that if I have a list like:
file1.txt
file 1.txt
File2.txt

it would result as:
file1.txt "file 1.txt" File2.txt
when using %$CLIPNAMEQ0%

and as:
"file1.txt" "file 1.txt" "File2.txt"
when using %$CLIPNAMEq0%

for %$CLIPNAMEQ0% and %$CLIPNAMEq0%

Support++

[petermad]

It would also be nice if it is mentioned in the help that %$CLIPBOARDq1% actually is supported, and if %$CLIPBOARDQ0% and %$CLIPBOARDq0% could also be supported.

[Fla$her]

There is no difference between %$CLIPBOARD1% and %$CLIPBOARDQ1%. Apparently, Q is ignored here.

[petermad]

But there is a difference between %$CLIPBOARD1% and %$CLIPBOARDq1%

[Fla$her]

This means that the absence of quotation marks in the presence of spaces for %$CLIPBOARDQ№% should be attributed to bugs.

[ghisler(Author)]

%$CLIPBOARDQ1% is not defined. There is no guarantee of what happens when you use that.

I would still like that the Q parameter could also be used for %$CLIPNAMEQ0% and %$CLIPNAMEq0%

I actually tried to add this when implementing %$CLIPNAMEQ1%, but it became too complex and would have caused a ton of bugs, so I removed it.
