Help with "sel"

[aurumdigitus]

At the behest of several Forum members am getting serious about scripting and have made modest progress.

A question about syntax. As sel 1 picks the first item what picks the last? The targets are text files in a folder already sorted by name with <date yyyymmdd_hhnnss;> appended to it. Probably prepostitioning sortby would do it but that seems like unnecessary overhead if sel alone could accomplish the task.

Don should probably update it so that the StartfromTop argument also applies to numbers so you could use this to select the last item:

Code: Select all

Sel -1,,1;

Currently you can select the last item by using GetInfo as so:

Code: Select all

Sel GetInfo('CountItems');

[aurumdigitus]

Sel GetInfo('CountItems');

Mirabile dictu, it works!
This could conceivably get to be fun.
