Multi Commander > Script

Debugger in 4.3 hangs MC on error

<< < (2/4) > >>

Mathias (Author):
MC.Explorer.Goto
For going to a path

Send 1 as second paramter to PathGetNamePart and it will strip file extension

Thanks again, I had managed to forget the link between MC.Explorer commands & scripts in looking through all the script functions  :-[
You pre-empted my query on tokenize...!!  :D

----- I had been looking at this -

--- Code: ---<array> StrTokenize2Array(<str> input, <str> delimiter);
--- End code ---
but it doesn't like this

--- Code: ---$arr StrTokenize2Array($arr input, "." delimiter);
@var $name = $arr[0];
@var $ext = $arr[1];
--- End code ---

Not sure what is wrong with my syntax  ::)   It splits the string into letters & gives $arr[xx] for each character but this is not useful for a filename that is not a constant pattern. 

But now I can skip past that issue for this script.  :P

--- End quote ---


--- Code: ---@var $path = "C:\\MyFolder\\MyFiles.txt";
@var $arr = StrTokenize2Array($path, ".");
--- End code ---
But the problem with that is that if any other part of the path happens to have a "." it will be bad.

You can also use string function

--- Code: ---@var $path = "C:\\MyFolder\\MyFiles.txt";
@var $positionOfLastDot = StrRFind($path, ".");
@var $name = StrSub($path , 0, $positionOfLastDot);
@var $ext = StrSub($path , $positionOfLastDot, -1);

--- End code ---

There are many ways to do the same thing :)

Ulfhednar:
This works well

--- Code: ---@var $now = GetTime();
@var $date = FormatDate( "dd-MM-yyyy" , $now );
@var $time = FormatTime( "HHmm", $now);
@var $folder;
@var $FolderBaseName = GetTargetPath();
@var $path = GetSourceFocusName();
@var $name = PathGetNamePart( $path , 1 );


 $folder = $FolderBaseName ^ $name + " " + $date + " " +$time +"Hrs";
 MC.Filesystem.Makedir PATH="{$folder}"

MC.Explorer.Goto TARGET ="{$folder}"
--- End code ---

My only problem is not getting the new folder to open in the inactive pane. 

Thanks for helping me get this far, I appreciate the fact that you have many more important things to do!  ;)

Ulfhednar:
We are Cross-posting I think!

I like the lastdot option for extensions, this will be useful if a version # is included in the source.

I guess the trick is finding the optimal solution given the possible uses.  It is great to have options tho, MS-DOS type environments are a nightmare   ;D

Thanks for giving me so many details on all this it will help me out a lot in the future.  :)  8)
