I' am impressed at the speed you are writing all those changes I really should have taken the lifetime licence
hehe! I should have told you...
Actually, I just added a nice little function called gettoken(). With this your task will be a 2-liner (easily converted into a one-liner, of course). You don't need a XYS file but can pack it directly into your PFA:
Code: Select all
$name=gettoken(<curbase>,1,"-"); goto "I:\WAV COURS All\;G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\?$name";
hey
serendipity, mine is
shorter!
Hey!! you did not add "gettoken" right now because it already works in v7.80.0020. So how many more functions are you hiding from us?

You're kidding, no! I don't hide nothing from you!

Okay, this is the PFA item (one line!) that should do the whole job for you, music teacher:
(needs version v7.80.0021!)
Code: Select all
|"Clapton" mp3;pdf>::$name=gettoken(<curbase>,,"-"); goto "I:\WAV COURS All\;G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\?$name"; sortby "n";
Should show command "Clapton" (rename as you like) in the Portable OpenWith Menu (POM) of MP3 and PDF files; when you select the "Clapton" command it will search the 2 folders for the extracted name part of the current file, and finally sort the search results by name ascending.

Great!
Actually, being a guitar player myself, I might come back to you some day.
But for the time being, if you feel the urge to return something, you might consider writing a review! This is a great way to promote XYplorer and make me happy!
Here are some places for reviews:

Thanks,

will do
and just a detail about the script how would you assign a keyb shortcut to this search
or better that this PFA only works in those 2 folders.
I am currently trying but to no avail
this doesnt work
Code: Select all
"Find Artist" G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\pdf; I:\WAV COURS All\mp3 wma m4a>::$name=gettoken(<curbase>,,"-"); goto "I:\WAV COURS All\;G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\?$name"; sortby "n";

You have to state the full path pattern for each case:
Code: Select all
... I:\WAV COURS All\*.mp3;G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\*.pdf>...
For a KS you'd rather do a UDC (of type "Run Script"). But then you won't get the context sensitivity of the POM:
you must decide whether the current file is a music file (should not be too hard
) -- you cannot limit a UDC to work just on PFDs. OTOH you can make the script check whether the current file is a PDF... so everything is possible.

For the second, maybe try this:
Code: Select all
"Find Artist" G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\*.pdf;I:\WAV COURS All\*.mp3;wma;m4a>::$name=gettoken(<curbase>,,"-"); goto "I:\WAV COURS All\;G:\MUSIC PDF\tunes\?$name"; sortby "n";
