Feed 'Find Files' Results in a list Box and then what

[huub]

Hello TCFriends ,

Find Files [Alt-F7] results, may be fed to a listbox, so you can zip selected files easy or delete|move|copy them somewhere.

The Old Norton Commander offered something to create a batch file from such a list. You could then save the list, and an opportunity was given to treat the filename as part of a commandline, so to complete the line with the filename to a command line

I cannot save the result list already can i

It would add something to the existing possibilities of the commandline
e.g. [face=courier] for /R %I in (*.*_foo.jpg) do c:\xnview\nconvert -resize 35% %I[/face]
if i was to find a group of files by a word pattern.

or maybe is would suffice if the typed command line would work on the list, instead of the inactive panel

well, what do you say?

Maybe you need the lst2multi plugin?

i tried to download that, but fileburst seems to bee buzzy

i found a solution in the start menu

Command : notepad.exe
Parameters : %L

This loads this CMD file in the temporary directory in notepad, so i can save it. Textpad is the better option of course.

a propos %L parameter
I can't figure out how to use this with a command + parameters around it

And yes, lst2multi answers my questions, almost in the terms i used to pose them.
Thank you Tir Na Nog and bago and this forum and creator

Try the makebat plugin instead! It can create one or multiple lines for each selected file!

That does it!
And quite ingenious how this works


i was into plugins, since mysqldocs are compressed in BZ2 format
now i check my mail in the Commander also

TC really is a survival kit

many happy TotalCommander years to go
