Code: Select all

//Go home
   #348;

i guess he was asking for this:

Code: Select all

sendkeys "{home}";

Oh! thats right. But in this situation context is important. Depends on what the user is trying to achieve. Maybe add focus; before sendkeys if its for list or focus tree; if its for tree.

Thanks all for your help !
Unfortunately, none works for me...
Let me explain a little bit more.

Code: Select all

End GetInfo("CountSelected") < 1, "No item(s) selected.";
   Global $files;
   $files = Report("{Dir |{FullName};{Ext}<crlf>|}", 1);
   Setting "AllowRecursion", 1;
   Sub "_newTXT";
   $files = RegexReplace($files, "^(.*);.*<crlf>", "$1|");
   Delete 1,0,$files;
   
"_newTXT"
   Global $files, $i;
   $i = $i Like "" ? 1 : $i;
   $token = GetToken($files, $i, "<crlf>");
   End $token Like "",, 1;
   $file = GetToken($token, 1, ";");
   $ext = GetToken($token, 2, ";");
   $newFile = RegexReplace($file, "$ext$", "txt");
   New $newFile;
   $i = $i + 1;
   Sub "_newTXT";
   moveto "F:\Dummy Files", $newFile;

This script (thanks to the forum helpers!)0, applied to a file, create a new file with same name with new .txt extension, move it to the Dummy folder then delete the original file.

But at the end of the script, the "selection" is at the bottom of the list (file are sorted by created date) and I always have to push the HOME key to go back to where I was (at the top of the list/window). So I would like to do this automatically...

BTW there is an active Visual filter which show only music files. And with the #348; command, the list is at the top of the list BUT Visual filter is cancelled and date sorting also (now the list is sorted alphabetically) and more columns are created (ATTR/LEN/TAGS/COMMENTS etc)...
EDIT: with "sendkeys "{HOME}";" (HOME is now Uppercase), I get the same result as the #348; command

That's strange because if I press the Home key I should get the same result as the sendkeys "{HOME}"; ????

I hope it's more clear to understand my problem and sorry for my bad english

It doesn't matter which file / folder is selected after you've run the script?

Just add a

Code: Select all

sel 1;

to your code...

At least it serves your purpose

"sel 1;"

GREAT ! Exactly what I was lookig for !

Does this script SELECT line 1 ?

thanks !

Does this script SELECT line 1 ?

Exactly.

Ok ! but this make me think it would be even better that the line number selected at the end of the script (line 1 for now) would be the same as the one of the .mp3 file I selected at the beginning of the script..

So is it possible to save the original line number as a variable and at the end of the script input the variable value to get back to the original line selected ?

So if I'm on line 6 when I call the script, at the end I would be back on line 6

That would be even greater !!

Thanks

This will always select the first file from your original selection, when the script has finished
it's job.

Code: Select all

End GetInfo("CountSelected") < 1, "No item(s) selected.";
   Global $files, $select;
   $files = Report("{Dir |{FullName};{Ext}<crlf>|}", 1);
   $select = gettoken($files, 1, ";");
   Setting "AllowRecursion", 1;
   Sub "_newTXT";
   $files = RegexReplace($files, "^(.*);.*<crlf>", "$1|");
   Delete 1,0,$files;
   
"_newTXT"
   Global $files, $select, $i;
   $i = $i Like "" ? 1 : $i;
   $token = GetToken($files, $i, "<crlf>");
   End $token Like "",, 1;
   $file = GetToken($token, 1, ";");
   $ext = GetToken($token, 2, ";");
   $newFile = RegexReplace($file, "$ext$", "txt");
   New $newFile;
   $i = $i + 1;
   Sub "_newTXT";
   moveto "F:\Dummy Files", $newFile;
   sel "[$select]", , 1;

thanks but this script showed me 2 errors

Code: Select all

"_newTXT"Global $files, $select, $i;

The Global... part must be on the next line.

But it doesn't matter anyway. All of your files are deleted / moved so it makes no sense to save the first file and try to select it afterwards. Time for a different solution.
