XYplorer Beta Club

I'm sorry for my latest sentence, I didn't want to express, XYplorer should be for NORMAL people, too, but wanted to say XYplorer should be for ORDINARY people, too, people who want a directory dump or something like that without doing programming / scripting for that. I am a little bit astonished t...

"but it depends on what the editor is capable off (it seems the one you've tried can't use a regex in the replace term)"... and it has a bad help file on top of that... Don, creating a good help file is an art (few programmers master), as for the task of reading a help file, that is simple...

This is beyond my grasping capabilities at this time. Permit some remarks nethertheless. Excuse me if my pov is non-programmer, non-regex-expert and thus not interesting for the highly-valued contributors of this thread (me not included), but there might be non-expert users of XYplorer, besides myse...

I've been reprimanded for multiplying posts here, instead of just editing them. So I edited the post above three times, but got aware that the "posting time" within the list page of this forum, for such updated posts, remains the original posting time. So, for other users, without manually...

@RalphM Thank you for mentioning further processing within Excel, and indeed that should be possible but is a lot of fuss. As said, I looked up some third party tools, and I have discovered that most paying tools Directory Report, 25 dollar, also does renaming and search for double files Directory L...

@FluxTorpedoe: Thank you for your answer trying to answer my question by several angles. As for the regex, it's too difficult for me especially since there are dots within the date and time, and I don't know if I can enter 3 lines into the command line of XYplorer, perhaps by separating them with th...

@nas8e9: Thank you for your spreadsheet idea which I hadn't thought of. Pasting the classic directory dump into cell A1 in MS Works Spreadsheet (WSS), and into Excel (E) is possible, but in both cases, any line is within the first cell of that line, so no separation. The same with "paste specia...

I have been rather astonished that the Reports function doesn't offer a neat dump (if I didn't overlook this of course). It's Info Panel, then Report Tab, then Current Folder or Current List, and then "classic directory dump", and others that are not that useful. This Classic directory dum...

Admin, it's right what you said, the address line is very powerful here. I just hadn't been aware of it.

The ";" is only in the error message and your line, not in the command line, but with the ";" after the "", it also works. So I suppose that the ";" is for separating several such commands in a row. So I tried with quotes now, and it worked, which brings the q...

Here is one of many identical screenshots, with 1 or several items (here it was 2 items), with many different folders...

I closed down XYplorer, and reopened it, this screenshot is from the reopened XYplorer (10.80).

Hi, a simple address line command ::moveto D:\Ph\0\M (this folder is existant, an item is selected) brings a message: XYplorer Scripting Script: File: (Internal) Script: (Untitled) 1moveto D:\Ph\0\M; Error: !Überlauf 0\0 Continue Cancel Script "Continue" brings the same error message again...

Thank you very much, serendipity! Both versions, relative path and full path, now work as I had hoped. Thank you a lot!

And on top of that, now before my address line, I have a steady Dos symbol, so my address line only accept Dos commands now it seems, no more internal XYplorer commands.

The same when I enter the full path, instead of hoping XYplorer will get that I enter a relative path as above.
