Create file based on folder name and report folder contents

[hermhart]

Hello, would anyone mind please taking a look at this and find the error in my ways. All I want this to do is to create a text file of the same name as the selected folder(s), then report the contents of the folder into the newly created text file. Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Code: Select all

   $SelectedItems = get("SelectedItemsNames", "|");
   foreach($Item, $SelectedItems, "|") {
      $ItemName = regexreplace($Item, "(.+(?=\.))(.+)", "$1");
         new($ItemName.".txt");
         folderreport("filesrel", "f", $SelectedItems, "r", $ItemName.".txt",);
   }

Code: Select all

    foreach($folder, "<get SelectedItemsNames |>") {
        if (exists("<curpath>\$folder") != 2) { continue; }
        $logFileName = regexreplace($folder, "(.+(?=\.))(.+)", "$1") . ".txt";
        if (exists("<curpath>\$logFileName") != 1) { new($logFileName); }
        folderreport("filesrel", "f", "<curpath>\$folder", "r", "<curpath>\$logFileName",);
   }

No time to make anything prettier...

highend,

I wasn't even close on what I had. Yours works like a charm. Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Is there something that could be added to this script that would also copy the timestamp of each selected folder and use it as the timestamp for the newly created file?

Just add

Code: Select all

timestamp , "<curpath>\$folder", "<curpath>\$logFileName";

as the last line in the foreach() loop?
