Access custom columns in live filter?

Post by highend »

Code: Select all

text setcolumns(, 64);
Name,Size,Modified,Created,abc // with column caption
Name,Size,Modified,Created,Script // with no column caption

Code: Select all

text columnlayout(, "get");
Path.150,+Name.348,Ext.32,+Size.91,Type.80,+Modified.107,+Created.107,Accessed.115,Attr.47,Len.28,Label.50,Comment.75,Tags.75,Extra 1.64,Extra 2.64,Extra 3.64,Extra 4.64,Extra 5.64,Index.64,Custom 1.64,Custom 2.64,Custom 3.64,Custom 4.64,Custom 5.64,Extra 6.64,Extra 7.64,Extra 8.64,Extra 9.64,Extra 10.64,Extra 11.64,Extra 12.64,Extra 13.64,Extra 14.64,Extra 15.64,Extra 16.64,Custom 6.64,Custom 7.64,Custom 8.64,Custom 9.64,Custom 10.64,+:d-17.113
The custom column has an entry like: a & b
I've tried a lot of possibilities...

Code: Select all

script:*a*  // with no column caption
abc:*a*  // with column caption
custom 17:*a*
custom17:*a*
cc17:*a*
d-17:*a*
None of them works

If this isn't implemented...
Can you please add these 3 ways to access them:
01. By column caption (like: abc:) and if doesn't have a caption by script:
02. By the most generic way (just like extra columns are accessed): cc{number}:
03. Like columnlayout() returns them: d-{number}: (without the leading ":")

I know that 01. can be ambiguous but it's the most visual (and therefore easiest) way.
Ofc one should not use two custom columns without a caption if possible^^

I've written a (simple) multi-column filter script and I can't live filter the results appropriately...

It's currently not possible (as mentioned here yesterday by chance: viewtopic.php?p=190856#p190856).

That was fast^^

Doesn't work for column entries that contain a space like in the date columns but you're already aware of that...
