[giulia]

Hi

I have read on the forum before posting viewtopic.php?t=51564

but i haven't found any tips to do it

is there a way to load a .m3u playlist on a tab to copy to a destination ?

and i want to copy all the folders ,subfoler and files?

In short i would like export a muscibee or foobar playlist and load into total commander and perform copy operation
thanks

You can use the TC command LOADLIST to get the list into one TC window.
From there, you can handle the entries with the normal file functions.
Here is a button with this command (adapt the Icon path)

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
LOADLIST
%P%N
C:\Tools\Wincmd\WCMICONS48.DLL,31
LoadList from file under cursor

0
-1

Select a .m3u file and hit the button.

You can edit the .m3u file and remove all after the last \ from each entry.
If you make a LOADLIST from this, you have the dirs as list in TC.

hi
for example

Code: Select all

A:\music\1966\The Who Sings My Generation\1. Out In The Street.mp3

which \ should I remove ?
but if the list is huge?
thanks

[Horst.Epp]

Of course, the file name.
1. Out In The Street.mp3
Use an Editor which supports the necessary Regex.
For me PSPad or Akelpad work with this
[^\\]*$

hi
do you think a compontent /plugins could handle such list/listes ?
thanks Horst

Totalcmd.net has a packer plugin for it.
I don't use it and it doesn't contain any readme.
Just try it.

Hi Horst

A:\music\1966\The Who Sings My Generation\1. Out In The Street.mp3

if i want to replace and obtain for example

Code: Select all

A:\music\1966\

or even better

Code: Select all

A:\music\

what code should i use?
i have tried to edit [^\\]*$ adding and removing \\ but nothing
thanks

I can't tell you how to get this result with an easy Regex.
Try to use one of the Regex learning websites like
