Help with button scripting

[evangelina]

Dear all, I want to add this script to a button.

I don't know how to script the check tab part. The best I can do is this:

Code: Select all

if (Get('#800')){focus "P2";if (<curpath> == "[pathX]"){focus "P1";#800;} else {tab ("new", "[pathX]");}} else {#800;focus "P2";if (<curpath> == "[pathX]"){#1001;} else {tab ("new", "[pathX]")}};

Could you please give me some help regarding how it should be written? Thank you very much!

Code: Select all

    $pathX = "<some path>";

    if !(get("#800")) {
        #800;
    }
    focus "P2";

    $tabs = get("Tabs");
    $index = gettokenindex($pathX, $tabs, , "i");
    if ($index == 0) {
        tab("new", $pathX);
    } else {
        if (<curpath> == $pathX) {
            focus "P1";
            #800;
        } else {
            seltab $index;
        }
    }

This works perfectly. Thank you so much!

Thanks, this adapted well to what I needed to open Drive Root in new tab without duplicating!

Code: Select all

$pathX = "D:";

    $tabs = get("Tabs");
    $index = gettokenindex($pathX, $tabs, , "i");
    if ($index == 0) {
        tab("new", $pathX);
    } else {
        seltab $index;
    }

Took a little tinkering, but exactly what I've been looking for
