Code: Select all

::moveto "<curpath>", "<curitem>\*"

in order to move contents of the last selected folder out. It worked, but I noticed that this can not be undone! Why's that?
Thank you.

What I want is to move all stuff inside a selected folder (hence <curitem>\*) out of the folder (move up one level), i.e. suck things out of a folder, that's it. To me that's the weakest version of a program called "Suction"
http://mike.geek-republic.com/software/suction/
which does the suction recursively no matter how deep the dir structure is.

Code: Select all

// suction: move all files (recursively) from the folder selected in
// the file list (<curitem>) up to the current folder
  $filelist = folderreport("files", "r", <curitem>, "r", , "|");
  moveto <curpath>, $filelist;

  foreach($token, <get selecteditemspathnames |>) {
    $filelist = folderreport("files", "r", $token, "r", , "|");
    moveto <curpath>, $filelist;
  }

Any way to force this to report subfolders contents apart?
$filelist = text folderreport("files", "r", , "r", , "|");

So instead of

Code: Select all

C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\bookmarks.html
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\chrome\userChrome-example.css
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\chrome\userContent-example.css
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\localstore.rdf
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\mimeTypes.rdf
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\prefs.js

I'd have

Code: Select all

C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\bookmarks.html
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\localstore.rdf
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\mimeTypes.rdf
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\prefs.js
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\chrome\userChrome-example.css
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile\chrome\userContent-example.css

Easy:

Code: Select all

// suction: move all files (recursively) from all folders selected in
// the file list up to the current folder
  foreach($token, <get selecteditemspathnames |>) {
    $filelist = folderreport("files", "r", $token, "r", , "|");
    moveto <curpath>, $filelist;
  }
