Create Test.txt with some data

[Quad Master]

--------------------------------------------
The Scenario

In Directory [C:\Temp]
C:\Temp\Test.ext [Selected]
--------------------------------------------
When "Test.ext" is selected and a script is run i want the following things to happen.

1.> Create "Test.txt"
2.> Write "Filename is : <curname>" in the Test.txt and Saved.
--------------------------------------------

So the final output should be

Test.txt
Filename is : Test.ext

=================================
My current status
Got
Step 1: new "<curbase>.ext"

Donno how to write data in a text file.

Also wud want to accept some input from user.
That can be done using
input $data, "Enter Data", Value;
Also want the accepted input to be written in the text file.

Hi + welcome!

You cannot yet write text to a (new) file using scripting. The command WriteFile will come soon though.

Actually, in the mean time here's a little trick you might find interesting: put your text into the clipboard (copytext) and then trigger Paste Text Into New File (#219), you might have to add a "focus l;" to get ride of the automatic rename mode, then the file should be focused & selected and a rename will allow you to rename it as you wish...

Firstly thanks for the welcome.

@admin : It will be fantastic if we would have a "writefile.anyext" method as it would help a lot.

@ jacky : Thanks for the suggestion.
Can u write the exact code for the description you gave above.
I want the exact code for "copying text into a file which is present in the clipboard"
Since i can add info to clipboard with copytext.

When i Rt click on the Clipboard "There is an option to copy text to newfile.txt"
but i want the file to be "somecustomname.customext"

I have created a drag and drop batch file for this thing but , wanted it the XY Way

I have really missed the best explorer in the world must say.
Just came across it accidentially and was amazed with the power a simple explorer software can offer with custom scripting.

This is an amazing product must say.
Thumbsup to the Developer , you guyz Rock.

On menu Edit (or when right-clicking an empty area on List), under "Paste Special" you have an option "Paste Text Into New File" which allows you, at any given time, to create a new textfile with the text on the clipboard.

To use this command in scripting, you need to use it's ID, which can be obtained from the CKS dialog (Tools|Customize Keyboard Shortcuts...). This one is 219, so all you need to do to trigger it from a script is to use #219; as command.

Here's an example :

Code: Select all

  input $comment, "Enter comments or something for <curname> :";
  copytext "File: <curname><br>Comments: $comment";
  #219;
  focus l;
  rename ,"Test.txt/e";

And to find out more about Scripting, you can have a look on the XYwiki

Ok got following

Code: Select all

copytext "Filename is : <curname>";#219;

This creates "Clipboard-20080915.txt" with the content i want but i want a code to rename the
file to "<curbase>.anyextenstion" or "anyotherfilename.anyotherextenstion"

[Quad Master]

Code: Select all

"Test"
  input $comment, "Enter comments or something for <curname> :";
  copytext "File: <curname><br>Comments: $comment";
  set $filename, <curbase>;
  #219;
  focus l;
  rename ,"$filename.txt/e";

This did exactly what i wanted.
Thanks jacky.
