[Help]View/select multi folders s in different location by scripting

Post by xen »

Hi, i want to view/select multi folders in different location (but still in local computer) - in a new tab of xyplorer
For more clearly , i have text like this

Code: Select all

e:\folder1
e:\folder2\subfolder3
e:\folder4\subfolder5
and i want to select /view all of them in a new xyplorer tab



i know how to do that with files (by using "flatview" in scripting) , like this

Code: Select all

 $content = <clipboard>;
 $content = "$content" . <crlf>;
 $files = "";
    foreach($entry, $content, <crlf>, "e")
 	{
		if (exists($entry))
			{ 
			$files = $files . $entry . ";";
			}
	}
	$files = $files . "?* /n /:flat";
	goto $files;

but i have no idea how to do that with folder, (if we do the same with folders, it displays the folder contents, not the folder itself)
Any help would be much appreciated

No scripting needed:
e:\folder1;e:\folder2\subfolder3;e:\folder4\subfolder5?* /flat

Thank you for the help
your command is similar to my script,it also display all the files in those folders
that makes the process slower to display all contents, while i just want to display folders
is it possible to display only the items in the list (in this case is the folders , not files)
Thanks

As a virtual folder (vi:...), separated by |:
vi:e:\folder1|e:\folder2\subfolder3|e:\folder4\subfolder5

Thank you very much , admin and highend , i really appreciated
The virtual command method works fine , it also works with files
(the other commands also display subfolders (of the folder in the list),while i just want to display the folder in list)

If you don't want recursion, disable it? /dn instead of just /d
