Finally, this one:

Code: Select all

text regexmatches(get("Status", 1), "[\x31-\x39][\x30-\x39\x20]*", "|");

This is what I noticed when I ran text get ("Status", 1).
it uses No-Break Space (U+00A0) instead of the usual space (U+0020)

Maybe this is the problem?

There are no such spaces in your example.

Code: Select all

text regexreplace(gettoken(regexmatches(get("Status", 1), "[\x31-\x39][\x30-\x39\xA0\x20]*", "|"), -1, "|"), "(\xA0|\x20)");
Then this should work

Is it possible to do this using an XYplorer, without creating a baht file, to speed up the process? The XYplorer can create hard links. Or does he use "mklink" for this?

The XYplorer can create hard links
Only when running with admin privileges, otherwise it'll fail

It wouldn't be that much faster anyway (executing the batch file shouldn't take that long)

In XYplorer, administrator rights are required to create symbolic links. It does not seem to require administrator rights to create hard links.
It takes a long time to create a baht file.
The XYplorer finds duplicate files very quickly. It would be great if he also quickly replaced them with hard links.

This is the fastest way:

01. Change the name of your dupe column in the script
02. Change the path to the "XY_Dupe hardlink creator_x64.exe" in the script

The .exe file will create an .ini file in the same folder on the first run
You can change the values for
ShowConfirmation=1
ShowLogInNotepad=1

afterwards if you want to... https://www.dropbox.com/s/qkilot4tv0ayf ... 4.exe?dl=0

Code: Select all

    // Change this to the name of the column in your language if necessary
    $dupeColumnName = "Dupes";

    // Change the path to "XY_Dupe hardlink creator_x64.exe"
    $tool = "<xydata>\Utils\XY_Dupe hardlink creator_x64.exe";

I can not believe this !!!
30763 files, 30290 duplicates, 12440 groups, 17852 hard links. Through the baht file, the process lasted 33 minutes. Through XY_Dupe hardlink creator - 15 seconds.
XYplorer has the fastest way to find and replace files with hard links !!! Thank you !!!
