compare directories - easy missed function

[trevor12]

I have 2 HDDs, I:\, T:\

directories structure on this HDDs on level1 (assume not subdirectories) is partly same

I need highlight same name directories on this HDDs (only by names, not by content, size or subdirectories..)

Is possible to get this trivial results anyhow (on left panel I have I:\ disk. on Right panel T:\ disk) ?

[Aezay]

Press [Shift + F2] or use the menu item: Mark -> Compare Directories.

[trevor12]

this function I know, but result is zero same names directories.

I explain again:

in left panel I have directories structure of I:\ disk (level1) - about 200 dirs
in right panel I have directories structure of T:\ disk (level1) - about 300 dirs

what I want is compare NAMES of directories structures and highlight SAME NAMES of directories on both panels

Assumed the focus is in the left panel:

Code: Select all

cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs,cm_FocusRight,cm_ExchangeSelBoth,cm_FocusLeft,cm_ExchangeSelBoth

TC8.50 required.
Execute from command line or create a button and paste the code into the command field.

HolgerK - thank you this is perfect working ... it was above my knowledge - magic combinations of commands in one row command, I believe that this is mighty weapon for geeks, it is shame that in wiki (faq) is not some introduction to the possibilities of this combinations of commands on one row, with basic examples for everyday use ...

Seems like there needs to be a cm_FocusOther, to avoid ending up in the wrong panel after running your example.

What is the difference between cm_ExchangeSelBoth and cm_ExchangeSelection?

Yep, could be of use.

cm_ExchangeSelection is not independent of:

MarkDirectories=1 Also select directories (with +)
