I can launch several items on firefox.

run "E:\Firefox Portable VIEWER\FirefoxPortable.exe" "item 1" "item 2";

But how can I convert that into a script which will do for the currently selected items, no matter how much?

get("SelectedItemPathNames", "|")
reformat and store that list (see "formatlist()") in a variable and use that in the run command.

Isn't this wrong syntax? I'd expect it to be:

Code: Select all

  run '"E:\Firefox Portable VIEWER\FirefoxPortable.exe" "item 1" "item 2"';
  run """E:\Firefox Portable VIEWER\FirefoxPortable.exe"" ""&item1"" ""&item2""";  // alternative if variables are concerned

Help says:
Names with blanks must be quoted. Note that the quotes have to be wrapped in single-quotes because an argument's outer quotes are auto-stripped by XY's script parser!
And an example shown is:

Code: Select all

  run """C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe"" /e /r ""<get path 1>"" ""<get path 2>""";

Both are variants I understand...
