open command failing on multiple files

[neutrox]

Code: Select all

      $list = get(selecteditemspathnames);
   foreach ($tk, $list, <crlf>) { open "$tk";  }

any reason for it refusing to launch current token, picking up the last selected, focused instead?

Works fine here. Maybe you opening app does not support multiple instances.

get simple text files and launch them using xyplorer: on two files selected only one of them will be opened twice while the other wont be touched.

select those guys again under WE and press enter: the two files will be opened as expected.

Well, you cannot expect that XY's "open" command from scripting works necessarily identical to WE's shell command. There are many factors. As i said: it works here.

Did that, dflt Editor is PSPad.

Selected 2 .txt files, clicked Scripting/Run Script..., pasted above 2 script lines, and executed.
PSPad started, showed 2 windows with the correct 2 files opened.

Tried with 3 files: also OK!

Can't find a problem here
