FORMATLIST with filter "!*.*"

Hi,
If a folder name contains .(DOT) FORMATLIST with filter "!*.*" won't return filename without extension
This is working :
Code: Select all
text formatlist("D:\test\data1\filename1|D:\test\data1\filename2.ext", "f", "|", "!*.*")
Return "D:\test\data1\filename1"
This don't :
Code: Select all
text formatlist("D:\test\data.1\filename1|D:\test\data.1\filename2.ext", "f", "|", "!*.*")
Return ""
The only way i found to achieve that without FORMATLIST is :
Code: Select all
$list = "";
foreach($item, "D:\test\data.1\filename1|D:\test\data.1\filename2.ext|D:\test\data.1\filename3.ext", "|") {
if getpathcomponent($item, "ext") == "" {
$list = $list . $item . "|";
}
}
$list = trim($list, "|", "r");
text $list;
Return "D:\test\data1\filename1"
Is there any other way to only get file without extension in a script ?
Thank you

What is your main purpose? List all files without extension in a certain folder?

I have a collection(+1,250,000) of sound modules(+500 filetype) on my external hard drive.
I would like to sort or seek them by filetype.
If i use "Branch View" it takes time, so i decided to build(with FOLDERREPORT) a "file.txt" that contains all sound modules full path.
And then i made a script to search in this "file.txt" with FORMATLIST. It's a lot faster !
Good thing, i can search "file.txt" even if my external hard drive is unplugged !
Only problem is, FORMATLIST can't find files without extension if folder name contains DOT
Thanks

I see.
I will add another flag to make to this happen. Looks useful enough to me.
In the next beta you simply do this (watch the last "f" parameter for files):
Code: Select all
text formatlist("D:\test\data.1\filename1|D:\test\data.1\filename2.ext", "f", "|", "!*.*", "f");
