Yes, the trick is to prepend "::"

Use the Edit... button on the right to insert multi-line scripts. Multi-line scripts are always recognized as scripts and do not need to be prepended with ::.

i tried this and it worked, but I could not figure out the {template} code for the fileversion.

My guess (based on other thread) is that code isn't quite finished yet and will be part of upcoming beta release.

Exactly. In the next BETA you can do:

Code: Select all

::text report("{name}, {fileversion}<crlf>", 1);

But this is unofficial secret information. And it will probably only work under XP, not Vista/Win7.
EDIT: {fileversion}, not {version}

Just a small suggestion, I'd consider adding your script as a UDC (user command), and then you can call this script from the catalog using the command ID assigned to it (the #14?? button in the UDC dialog).

This way you can easily access the same script via UDC menu, Catalog, and shortcut key.

It makes it a little easier to manage things, and if you don't actually want it in the UDC menu you can still hide it while keeping the ability to give it a shortcut key.

Everybody, Thank you for your time and help.

What beta version did this appear in? I tried the most recent, but it just came back blank for me.

Thanks

It works in the recent version. Select one or more files with version info (EXEs, DLLs...) in the file list, and feed

Code: Select all

::text report("{name}, {fileversion}<crlf>", 1);

into the Address Bar.

Remember that this yet unofficial feature will currently (probably) only work under XP, not Vista/Win7.

It worked, I wasn't selecting files... Once I changed the ,1 to a ,0 I was seeing what I wanted.

Thank You
