from search copy files in last directory

Post by *PierreCommander »

I would like to copy my search results as the files found but also the last directory that they are contained in....Is there a way to do this?

Will 'feed to listbox' button in search results dialog help you?

feed to inbox is not enough

Here is what I want to do:
for example, I want to copy two files which are the results of search.

c:\a.txt
c:\b\c.txt

Then, what I want to do is to copy these files into another directory maintaining the sub directory structure.
If I just select them all and copy to another directory, only files are copied, not with the subdirectories, for example,

d:\a.txt
d:\c.txt

but I want

d:\a.txt
d:\b\c.txt

How can I do this using 'feed to inbox' without compression?

Well, it is really hard to determine what exactly do you want. E.g. you have files:

C:\Folder1\Folder2\a.txt
C:\Folder1\Folder2\ab\b\c.txt

And you want to copy theese two files into D:\ folder and keep folder structure. How will TC know upper level folder - is it Folder2 or Folder1 or you wish copy entire part of tree starting from root?

D:\a.txt
D:\b\c.txt

OR

D:\Folder2\a.txt
D:\Folder2\b\c.txt

OR

D:\Folder1\Folder2\a.txt
D:\Folder1\Folder2\b\c.txt

:?:


BTW, such feature may be easilly realized using some external tool which will receive filelist using %L parameter. This operation doesn't belong to thoose which can't be done with external tools.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
