You could set a variable at the beginning using $itemCount = GetInfo("CountSelected"); (and also set this to 1 if using the focused item), and then use this instead of $d.
Using this, I managed to fix things. However, there are a couple of concerns. Is there any way I can do away with $c being printed at the top of the list? How can I have just the file name and not the full path printed on the same line as the md5 string, since that's what $token gives me? Thank you very much for your help.

Did you try it with the script I attached? It should do exactly what you want.
I think the problem with your's might be that the first time through the while loop $c is undefined, so try initializing it before the loop.

Thank you for your help. It appears that checksums in XY are limited to md5 and verifying those isn't as straight-forward as desired. It's easier for me to stick to HashCheck, but I'll still be using XY because it gets called from the context menu

I'm curious, what exactly are you looking for in an XY implementation? What steps do you desire which would get you to replace HashCheck? Only in regards to MD5 for the moment, obviously it would be nice if Don added some functions for SHA1 and SHA256, but that's a bit beyond my scripting desires.

SHA1 and SHA256... enlighten me: what's it good for?

Well, I quite like the way MD5 checksum creation is implemented in XYplorer. However, the checksum verification is less straight-forward. The advantage of HashCheck is that I can double-click on a checksum file and it will automatically check all the files in that folder against MD5 signatures. I'm sure with time checksum generating/verifying abilities of XYplorer will expand beyond a scripting command and I will patiently await that day

I only really use them for verifying the integrity of files, but there's other uses
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA256#Applications
I also sometimes use them for comparing files here at work.
They're just other ways of calculating the hash of a file, using more bits to result in fewer collisions.
I'm not actually requesting these be added to XY; I'd much rather see a way in scripting to execute a console application and have the output captured, which would render the need for these a bit moot.
I was more interested in what was not straight-forward enough about the script I wrote for at least MD5s.

So you're looking more to compare the files against MD5 files. This shouldn't be too difficult, is there a standard format for generated MD5 files? Or could you post the contents of a single file and mutli-file MD5 generated by HashCheck?

Sure, here's a paste of the contents of a multi-file MD5 file:

I was curious to use this script, however it does it not seem to be working for me in the latest beta incarnation.
Could someone verify this for me please.
Thanks

Sorry zer0, I got way too lazy to ever return to this.
Maybe someday...

It was from the pre-command-to-function conversion.
Give the attached version a try.
