[TC11.01] Invalid variable substitution (%A1:~1,-1)

[andry81]

I am trying to pass environment variable together with the user command parameter:

Code: Select all

[em_test]
cmd=em_test_impl "%COMSPEC%"
param=%A1

[em_test_impl]
cmd=cmd.exe
param=/k echo.%A1:~1,-1\%A2

Button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_test
123 456
C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD.EXE,3


0
-1

Result:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" \123

Expectation:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe\123

I need quotes because the environment variable value can have has spaces and I can not use it without quotes:

Code: Select all

[em_test]
cmd=em_test_impl %CommonProgramFiles%
param=%A1

[em_test_impl]
cmd=cmd.exe
param=/k echo.%A1\%A2

Result:

C:\Program\Files\Common

I know I can pass the environment variable in the "param" key as "%%COMSPEC%%", but it will leave the expansion to the "cmd.exe". I want to expand it by the Total Commander.

Is there another way to use both variables at the same time?

I confirm that the form :~start,length doesn't seem to work well with the %A1, %A2, etc. parameter. Perhaps due to the number behind the A because it seems to work with %A.

I will check it. I never tried the :~ notation with multi-character placeholders like %A1.

That's not how smartfeed urls work. You don't post them in a forum post, you use them in your newsfeed reader program.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.02 RC1, please test it!

21.09.23 Fixed: Internal commands: Parameters %A1, %A2 etc. incorrectly handled substring fields like %A1:~1,-1 (32/64)

Tested OK using TC 11.02rc1.
