XYplorer Beta Club

After performing a search using the search dialog, is there a way to save the search results to a file?

Just to clarify, I've already saved the search parameters as a search template. I'm just looking to save the results to a file. I can output them to a clipboard, then paste the clipboard into a text editor. But is there a way to save directly to a file?

I'm using XYPlorer 17.40 under Windows 10.

-Thanks

You could use the Report tab, Current List tab, To File... but the resulting file would contain the data
of all visible columns...

A scripting command on the toolbar / catalog / etc. would work
E.g. if you want to store it in a fixed name in a fixed path: or if you want to select the folder first etc.

Code: Select all

writefile("<path to>\Search result.txt", <get ItemsPathNames <crlf>>);

or if you want to select the folder first

Code: Select all

    $folder = inputfolder();
    writefile("$folder\Search result.txt", <get ItemsPathNames <crlf>>);

etc.

Ah, the Report tab in the search dialog. Thank you!

Note that you can save the results right with the Search Template. Tick "Save search results" in the Search Templates dialog...

Can also be scipted using the new function searchtemplate()...
