Where's the list of commands?

[Ghosty]

I want to do this:

echo OK >%1.ok

This will put the text "OK" into a file with the same name as the selected file with ".ok" appended to the end.
It should work the same with multiple files.

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!

As far as that type of rename, the typical XY way to do it would be via "Batch Rename" under File>Rename Special with a pattern of '* OK'.

As far as list of cmds, see "help on scripting cmds" in Help.

I want this on the toolbar as a button, no submenus to navigate.

This almost works, but it doesn't put the . in the file name?!
new <curname>.OK, file

I'm working with this now but I don't understand why it wont stop stepping. When I open a script, it shows the list of lines in the script. I've toggled stepping on and off, doesn't make any difference.

set $a = <curname>.ok
msg "this is a " $a

[Ghosty]

I fixed it with quotes around the whole name,

new "<curname>.OK", file

Hi Ghosty, welcome.

The dot is used for concatenation like with PHP:
"file" . "ext" == fileext
"file" . ".ext" == file.ext


The Debug dialog appears always if you use menu "Scripting > Try Script..."
no matter if "Scripting > Step Mode" is set or not. (Sometimes this disturbs me too, maybe this should be improved?)

I want to do this:

echo OK >%1.ok

This will put the text "OK" into a file with the same name as the selected file with ".ok" appended to the end.
It should work the same with multiple files.

Try this:

Code: Select all

/*

Create an new file for each selected file
with the same name but add ".OK" at the end
and put the word "OK" as content.

*/

End ("<curitem>"==""),  "No file selected!"; //check if any file is selected

      //get list of selected files:
   $filelist = getinfo('SelectedItemsPathNames', '|');
   
   $count = 1;
   while(1)
   {
      //get an file from the list:
      $file=gettoken($filelist,$count,"|");
      if("$file"==""){break;}
      
      //filter out files with already .OK extension:
      $check = regexreplace($file, ".+(...)", "$1", 0);
     // IF ($check){$check=".OK";} // always upercase  --- disabled because of nonsens
      
      //if not already .OK extension, create an new file with "OK" content:
      IF ($check != ".OK")
      {
        //writefile(filename, data, [on_exist], [mode]) 
        writefile($file . ".OK", "OK", n, t); 
			}
			
      $count++;
   }

Thanks. Looks like a good link for what I'm doing.

I saved your script to a file, selected a file I want to process, and did the "load script file" and it does nothing. I don't get it... is it bugged?

Also, when I select multiple files, I get no context menu on them unless I right click on the first one, then it thinks I have only one selected.

Did I mess up some settings?

[Stefan]

For me it works.
Note:
- if the current file already has an ".ok" extension the script skips
- if there is already an "file.ext.ok" the script skips


Oh
i have an logical bug in the case check.

Please comment out the line
IF ($check){$check=".OK";} // always upercase
by two leading //
//IF ($check){$check=".OK";} // always upercase



What do you mean by "context menu" ... is this related to this script?

It works now
I noticed that after editing my button in one XY window, the other one was not updated.

This also works on a button:
new "<curbase>.OK", file, "C:\Users\theuser\Documents\XYPlorer\XYScripts\ok.fill"

What do you mean by "context menu" ... is this related to this script?

I was concerned about why the script wasn't working, but now I think the context menu issue is unrelated.
I should post the context menu issue in another thread.

[j_c_hallgren]

I should post the context menu issue in another thread.

We're not that picky here so another thread may not be needed quite yet...let's explore the issue here a bit more first...

[Ghosty]

OK.

The context menu issue only applies to selections of different types.

I DO get context when selecting one or more of these types...
avi,
m3u,
png,
pdf

I Don't get context for...
avi+m3u
png+pdf

[Ghosty]

Also. I tried avi+mkv and it does work...

[Ghosty]

These do not work no matter which one I right click on...
AVI + TXT
M3U + TXT
MKV + TXT
AVI + NFO

These do work when either selected file is right clicked...
TXT + TEXT (unkown type) does work.
TXT + NFO
PNG + JPG
AVI + MKV

With these, only the right click on the first one opens context, the second does not.
JPG + NFO
JPG + TXT
JPG + MKV
PNG + NFO
PNG + TXT

All combos work in Directory Opus.

The problem goes away when I uncheck the advanced option -> Default Items only in Shell Context Menu
