Hi, sorry for my bad English

I'm looking for the following

I wish a script file that read on a directory a file (highlighter_list.txt), and then mark or highlight the directories or files based on list containing in highlighter_list.txt

The idea is to organize directories and scroll those who are ready

thanks

Topic was moved...

Answer:

Code: Select all

selectitems regexreplace(readfile("highlighter_list.txt"), "\r?\n", "|"), , 1, "n";
Where highlighter_list.txt is in the current directory. Otherwise change it to one with a full path.

Thanks, but I tried it and does nothing :( Scripting menu/ try script ...

If the current folder has the following files

-------------------
c.txt
b.txt
a.txt
1.txt
highlighter_list.txt
------------------

and the file highlighter_list.txt contains the following list

1.txt
b.txt

then you should highlight those files (1.txt, b.txt)

Thanks

Had a look...

It highlites the files by selecting them.
The files must be displayed in active list pane & tab when executing script.

Tested with 5 files, with 2 names in highlighter_list.txt.
(Check the names...)

ok, it works well :tup:, it is possible that only highlight without mark []

You mean: Do not change the focus of the current file? Replace the 1 with a 0...
