Copy path with spaces

(1/2) > >>

Bernd:
When I have a path "c:\Black and White" and copy it with Ctrl+P, MC copies it as it is, but I would like to have the spaces replaced with %20. Otherwise some programs don't recognize the complete path but stop after c:\Black. Is there a way to achieve this?
Best regards, Bernd

There is no built in function for that. But you can create you own UserDefinedCommand using MultiScipt

There are functions for getting name of selected files , replacing text in string for settings text to the clipboard.

copy your paths to excel or a text editorand use Search and Replace to change the Space with your old school HTML "%20".

Mathias (Author):
create a UserDefinedCommand of MultiScript Type

insert this script code

--- Code: ---@var $names = GetSelectedFileNames();
@var $count = arrayCount($names)
for($idx = 0; $idx < $count; $idx++)
{
   $names[$idx] = StrReplace($names[$idx], " ", "%20");
}

@var $text = ArrayToString($names, "\r\n", 0 );
SetClipboardText($text);

--- End code ---

Save it, and assign a hotkey or add it to the menu.

Mathias (Author):
Or we can do it even more efficent


--- Code: ---@var $text = ArrayToString(GetSelectedFileNames(), "\r\n", 0 );
$text = StrReplace($text, " ", "%20");
SetClipboardText($text);
--- End code ---
