Change Directory Menu: Need Help with Parameters: "cd c:\%Date:~-4,4%"

[Faraday]

Hello,
I need a little help - maybe someone knows the solution.
When in "change directory menu" (ctr-D -> configure) I put comand like this: cd c:\%Date:~-4,4%\ (which now coresponds to c:\2021\) it doesn't works.
But it works at Windows command line window.

Is there alternate function to made dynamic directory menu such as: c:\<current year>\?

Best Regards.

Variable substitution is done in command line interpreter CMD.exe.
iF you want to do so you have to create a small batch that call TC like

Code: Select all

@"%commander_exe%" /S c:\%Date:~-4,4%\ 

and then call this batch...

// to create folder you can use <[Y] but this syntax is not valid with CD

You can put this command in your usercmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[em_goto_datedir]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param="%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /O /S c:\%%Date:~-4,4%%\
iconic=1

and then use this in the Command field of the "Change directory menu" item:

Code: Select all

em_goto_datedir

The usercmd.ini is in the same folder as your wincmd.ini file. If it is not there - then make it (it is a simple ANSI text file)
