Possible to make command prompt figure out what's the drive letter of portable xyplorer folder?
cmd /K "cd /d ?:\xy portable\"
goto get("driveletter", "data", "?:\xy portable\"); //soft drive letter

thanks for replay highend
I run xyplorer and firefox in portable mode and use this command to run firefox
the batch contain this
Code: Select all
start firefox.exe -Profile "afox/"
is there any possibility to start firefox directly by script? soft drive letter can do any trick in my case?
Code: Select all
get("driveletter", "data", "?:\xy portable\"); //soft drive letter

Code: Select all
Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile afox/"
Note that any switch with space must have double quote

what will happen it creates a new folder named afox in C:\Program Files\firefox directory, i want run my firefox profile as a relative path, in any case it is not so that important it works by batch and it's ok. just curious to know if XY could do it

If you run XY from that USB, then <xypath> is already portable (not depend of drive letter)
i.e: Paste this in address bar and press enter:
::echo <xypath>
If you want to get the drive letter that XYplorer is running on, then use a question mark ? i.e:
Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""?\Somefolder\afox/"" "
If you don't run XY on that USB, then use this:
Code: Select all
$USBdrive = trim(get("drives", 2), '\');;
Run """C:\Program Files\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""$USBdrive\Somefolder\afox/"" "

wow it's working exactly as I want. binocular222 many thanks to you
Code: Select all
$USBdrive = trim(get("drives", 2), '\');;
Run """%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""$USBdrive\xy-portable\afox/"" "
let's say i have another usb plugged before so it will use it instead the one i work with it

First usb drive with that folder wins...
Code: Select all
$folderName = "xy-portable";
$usbDrives = replace(get("drives", 2), "\", "");
foreach($drive, $usbDrives, "|") {
if (exists("$drive\$folderName") == 2) {
run """%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""$drive\$folderName\afox/""";
break;
}
}

what I like in your script that "xy-portable" folder must be exists first and doesn't create new one if it's not, so I guarantee don't leave any traces in mistake area. very thanks highend

Code: Select all
"cmd" /k "C:\Program Files\dcrypt\dccon.exe" -mountall
in user defined commands it works but how to run it directly by script

binocular222, you're the best
=======
to whom it may concern
Code: Select all
Run """%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"" -Profile ""<xypath>\afox/"" "
works standalone very well
