FORMATLIST with filter "!*.*"

[bauxite69]

Hi,

If a folder name contains .(DOT) FORMATLIST with filter "!*.*" won't return filename without extension

This is working :

Code: Select all

text formatlist("D:\test\data1\filename1|D:\test\data1\filename2.ext", "f", "|", "!*.*")

Return "D:\test\data1\filename1"

This don't :

Code: Select all

text formatlist("D:\test\data.1\filename1|D:\test\data.1\filename2.ext", "f", "|", "!*.*")

Return ""

The only way i found to achieve that without FORMATLIST is :

Code: Select all

 $list = "";
 foreach($item, "D:\test\data.1\filename1|D:\test\data.1\filename2.ext|D:\test\data.1\filename3.ext", "|") {
         if getpathcomponent($item, "ext") == "" {
            $list = $list . $item . "|";
         }
 }
 $list = trim($list, "|", "r");
 text $list;

Return "D:\test\data1\filename1"

Is there any other way to only get file without extension in a script ?

Thank you

What is your main purpose? List all files without extension in a certain folder?

What is your main purpose? List all files without extension in a certain folder?

I have a collection(+1,250,000) of sound modules(+500 filetype) on my external hard drive.
I would like to sort or seek them by filetype.

If i use "Branch View" it takes time, so i decided to build(with FOLDERREPORT) a "file.txt" that contains all sound modules full path.
And then i made a script to search in this "file.txt" with FORMATLIST. It's a lot faster !
Good thing, i can search "file.txt" even if my external hard drive is unplugged !

Only problem is, FORMATLIST can't find files without extension if folder name contains DOT

Thanks

I see.

I will add another flag to make to this happen. Looks useful enough to me.

In the next beta you simply do this (watch the last "f" parameter for files):

Code: Select all

text formatlist("D:\test\data.1\filename1|D:\test\data.1\filename2.ext", "f", "|", "!*.*", "f");
