"Hello, could you please provide instructions on how to create a list of files in Total Commander (TC) that includes quotation marks around each file, as shown in the example below:
""Text.txt""
""Folder""
Your assistance is greatly appreciated."

That's not a format which can be created native by TC.

One possible solution is:
Select your dirs and files
Use a button with the command cm_CopyFullNamesToClip.

Start your editor
Paste the clipboard content
Use a RegEx to add the quotation marks around all lines.

In PSPad editor for example
Search for
^(.*)$
Replace by
""$1""

Hello, could you please provide instructions on how to create a list of files in Total Commander (TC) that includes quotation marks around each file, as shown in the example below:
""Text.txt""
""Folder""

* Mark the files/folders.
* Open the Multi-Rename Tool.
* Set options as in this screenshot and choose "Edit names" as shown in the screenshot.
* Save the file to a name and location of your choice.

BTW, it's a bit weird to add double double quote characters. If you meant single double quote characters then replace the double double quote characters with single double quote characters

Another way - download and install MakeBAT plugin - https://plugins.ghisler.com/plugins/makebat.zip
You can assign it for TXT extension or default - BAT and change manually on "Pack files" dialog window.
Select files in source panel and use "Pack" command under "Files" menu (Alt+F5) (you actually don't pack files, only doing some manipulation with it's names)
When dialog window "Batch files creator" appear type ""%N"" and press OK. Names will be packed to target directory.
Note: no support for files in subdirectory unless you use Branch View or search na %P%N parameters.
Although my experience tell me that maybe you need just single double quotes.

Also - it's rather clear that this is only part of your problem, so maybe explain the whole problem, not part of it?

you could utilize PowerShell (or any other scripting language) from an TC-Button
in combination with TCs parameter '%F' to output the selected files surrounded by doubled double quotes:

Get-Content ' %F ' | Foreach-Object{ [char]34 + [char]34 + $_ + [char]34 + [char]34 }


- - -


-- create an button

Copy&Paste button code:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
PowerShell -NoExit
TYPE '%F' | Foreach{ [char]34 + [char]34 +  $_ + [char]34 + [char]34 }
powershell
Output selected files with doubled "double quotes" added
