Any way to force this to report subfolders contents apart?

Nope.

Well, I could improve it...

Reporting subfolders up to a given sub-level, then the sub-sub-level and so on...? That would be great, Don. Reports supporting level-control would allow incredible improvements on controlling folders' contents I think.
First (files on current folder)
sub1, sub2, sub3...
Last (files on the last level of subfolders)

Hi there, This script is perfect for me! I have a folder that I regularly 'suction'. But is there a way to make the script ignore hidden files and folders? (XYplorer is not set to show them.) Cheers.

Sure.

Look at the template option {Attr} for report() (which can be used for folderreport() as well) in the help file.
Ofc you have to use a gettoken() for the H flag in the output for each file and rebuild your file list afterwards (+ remove all attributes).

As an alternative, a second foreach loop in the first one that uses property("attrib", $token) and a gettoken() to check for the "H" again
to build a new list of files, that doesn't contain these entries.

Thanks highend, Before I look into that, would it change what I need to do if it's only one known hidden file that would be affected - desktop.ini?

[highend]

Ofc.

formatlist() can filter out such entries.

An example:
$a="D:\a.txt|D:\b.txt|D:\desktop.ini|D:\c.txt"; text formatlist($a, "f", "|", "!*desktop.ini");

Thanks highend, That did it!
