Command Button to open tab to specific folder

[xkxtnt]

Is there a way to create a button that will open a folder in target panel depending on the current path in source panel?

For example, if the source panel path is \\network1\mdf\2014\04\23, I want the target panel to go to log folder \\network1\log\2014\04\23 with the same date after clicking on the button.

The only difference is the mdf and log part in the folder, the rest are the same. But of course the date part \2014\04\23 will change depending the folder I am in.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

REM 2. Change '\mdf\' part to '\log\'
REM 3. Change target pane to wanted path
REM 
REM For example, if the source panel path is \\network1\mdf\2014\04\23, 
REM I want the target panel to go to folder \\network1\log\2014\04\23 
REM The only difference is the mdf and log part in the folder, the rest are the same.

A PowerShell script can be found over there> http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=42438


Needs no extra batch file.

Code: Select all

CMD: PowerShell -NoExit -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

PARAM: $TARGET='%P' -replace('\\mdf\\', '\log\'); """$env:Commander_Exe /O /S /R=$TARGET""";

out of the box, it is not possible to have such as in a button parameter you cannot use any regexp, wdx, renaming scheme or scripting....
Anyhow, you can do it with an automation tool like powerpro, ahk, autoit, powershell, awk....
What you can do is to have a kind of mapping table to tranform current path %P and change TC target folder ...

Thanks Stefan! I will try it out.
