Custom Columns File Name Character Count

[dennydraco]

Hope this hasn't been posted previously, if so can someone direct me to it.

Can a custom column be made to give you the file name character count (with or without the file extension)?

You mean that, given

Code: Select all

C:\folder\file.txt

the output should be 4?

[dennydraco]

yes, exactly

enter ::snippet; in addressbar and paste this code to create the column definition as NameLen.

Code: Select all

Snip: CustomColumn 1

[/size]It's return value is like this: <length of name with ext>/<length of name without ext>

If you don't want it to apply to folders, then select "Files" as the coulmns itemtype. Also in this case, the script may be highly simplified.

Thanks for the script. That's what I needed.
