Need a little guidance on producing REPORTS

[semicodin]

So I've got this folder and want to exclude just one sub-folder, and report on the rest. I noodled around with it, thinking I should just check all the folder boxes but the one I don't want and it keeps taking the entire contents.

Here's what I need:

1. FILE NAME
2. FILE PATH
3. FILE SIZE
4. DATE Created
5. DATE Modified
6. DATE Accessed
7. FILE EXTENSION (in its own column)

Thanks for any help!

If you want a customized report, use folderreport() and filter what it spits out (regexreplace() / formatlist())

[semicodin]

Highend thank you for the reply. I'm sorry to ask this but I have no idea what you mean. Doesn't XYplorer have a built-in option somewhere to do this? ie. clicking boxes, or selecting options?

[admin]

F12 (Info Panel) -> Report Tab -> Current List

The report will show all columns you currently have in the list.

F12 (Info Panel) -> Report Tab -> Current List

It reports on selected items (even folders) but not on their content (recursive)?

[admin]

True.

[highend]

So he either needs to do the report via scripting (as currently suggested) or XY needs an option to do reports for
"Selected Items" recursively

[semicodin]

F12 (Info Panel) -> Report Tab -> Current List
reports on selected items (even folders) but not on their content (recursive)

By which I take you to mean, Highend, the file names themselves? Well shoot. I'll have to do this in Treesize Pro (or one of the exceedingly inferior free file managers). I'm not casting aspersions but . . . isn't this kind of a core feature in a file manager? Even that piece of shit from Vcom has this feature.

You can do it in the GUI by performing a recursive search (or branch view) for all items (empty name or '*') first and then generating a Current List report on the results. This also allows you to exclude specific folders as desired.

It doesn't work Qwerty. And it just crashed my XYplorer.

A combined way to achieve what you want (works only with the pro version!)
but looks nearly identical to what XY provides...
Should at least work correctly with non unicode folder names

F12, Report, Current Folder
Select the folders for that you need the report!

Use (o) Classic directory dump
[x] Include subfolders
Click "To Clipboard"

Run this script:

Code: Select all

    $sep = strrepeat("=", 80);
    $content = gettoken(<clipboard>, 3, $sep, , 2);
    $selected = <get SelectedItemsPathNames <crlf>>;
    $folders = listfolder(, , 2, <crlf>);
    foreach($item, $folders, <crlf>) {
        if (strpos($selected, $item) == -1) { // not found, remove it
            $escaped = regexreplace($item, "([\\^$.+*|?(){\[])", "\$1");
            $content = regexreplace($content, "$sep\r?\n$escaped\\[\s|\S]+?$sep");
        }
    }
    copytext formatlist($content, "e", <crlf>);

Now paste (CTRL + v) the clipboard's content where you need it...

I've done this countless times and it does work.

OUCH. Thanks but I'll pass.

Then just replace copytext with text?
