Hello!

$folder = get("SelectedItemsPathNames");
$filesinside = listfolder($folder, !"*.txt", 1, <crlf>);
$files = replace($filesinside, "\", "\\");
$textfileinside = $folder . "\filenames.txt";
$textfile = replace($textfileinside, "\", "\\");
writefile($textfile, $files);

I'm writing SelectedItemsPathNames of files(in subfolder) except for .txt of selected folder.

All fine, except for the fact that only files with 0 appear on the list, anyone knows the reason why?

from what i've tested:

xas\tires03\1_normal.jpg doesn't appear
xas\tires03\normal_123.jpg doesn't appear
xas\tires03\0_normal.jpg appears
xas\tires03\0123_normal.jpg appears
xas\tires03\normal_0123.jpg appears

appear - file path written to file
doesn't appear - file path not written to file

Any ideas? Thx!

listfolder doesn't accept boolean not, and you have it outside the quotes too, use an alternate method eg. quicksearch.

Indeed! Thank you for the suggestion.

Posting the solution just in case another noob has the same doubt.

$folder = <curitem>;
$filesinside = quicksearch("*.jpg", $folder); // searching only for .jpg is ok for me.
$files = replace($filesinside, "\", "\\");
$textfileinside = $folder . "\filenames.txt";
$textfile = replace($textfileinside, "\", "\\");
writefile($textfile, $files); //

In that case you could have just used listfolder($folder, "*.jpg", 1, <crlf>); as well^^

Lol i agree with you.

Actually i just wanted to select the images files(in this case, all but .txt).

I ended up with:

$folder = <curitem>;
$filesinside = quicksearch("*.jpg;*.png;*.tga;*.tiff", $folder);

That way i know these are the only supported types, but i'd like to know how to use a file extension as exception. "!*.txt" doesnt work at all and I couldn't find another alternative.

I think quicksearch doesn't work with exceptions altho i remember to have seen it somewhere in the past .

Maybe I'm just tripping, thanks for dropping by anyways

Of course it works with exceptions, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it.
but if you only want images anyway, then maybe this is better alternative in this case:
