No Idea how to make this

[mikeshick]

Can I get a script that would take the current address, say:

P:\Nilon, John & Lourdes (John Kelly)\Billing

And change it to:
Z:\Dropbox (MED)\MED\Projects\Nilon, John & Lourdes (John Kelly)\Billing

[highend]

Just look up the replace() command

Thank you. Maybe I'll learn scripting one day. Is there still a fellow that writes scripts out for $5?

Here's a script not tested. So test on non critical folder first.

ChangeOfAddress.xys

Hope it does what you desire if not inform us.

[mikeshick]

super kind of you. It doesn't work. brings up dialog, but when selecting desired rule, nothing happens.

[mikeshick]

This script didn't work. Any chance you're able to assist any further?

[highend]

Code: Select all

$dst  = "Z:\Dropbox (MED)\MED\Projects\";
    $path = $dst . gpc(<curpath>, "component", 2, 2);
    text $path;

[mikeshick]

very kind of you. That works. How might I have it automatically open a new tab with the new address?

So far this path is only a text string (for all we know) so this path would first need to be created before you can actually open it in a new tab.

Sorry...I'm not sure how your comment helps. The given is that I have a path already. I would like to take highends command, and then insert it into a new tab.

Sorry, no intention to be obnoxious. Maybe I missed something you're trying to say.

Code: Select all

$dst  = "Z:\Dropbox (MED)\MED\Projects\";
    $path = $dst . gpc(<curpath>, "component", 2, 2);
    tab("new", $path);

All the scripting commands are documented including examples, and the names of them are pretty self explanatory, that is if you ever wanted to put some effort into trying yourself.

I'd rather pay someone for coffee or lunch to write few small ones for me from time to time. I appreciate the help.

Then drop me a pm (personal message) when you need something...
