cm_copyFullNamesToClip-reciprocal

[mirosnik]

Ladies and Gents,

Is there any command doing the job reciprocal to that of cm_copyFullNamesToClip? For instance, I performed a search for duplicates with TC and fed the result to the listbox. Then I exerted cm_copyFullNamesToClip, and filtered (with some editor-macro) the list to leave just the files to be deleted. At this point I would be interested to load the new list back to TC (in order to quickly delete the files). What would you, guys, advise?

Thanks a lot,
Igor

You could use the editor to put a "del " at the beginning of each line and then run it as a batch file.

No, unfortunately there isn't. But it's normally not needed - just put a
del
command in front of the names, rename the file to *.bat and double click it to delete the files!

Or, if you're on Windows NT, 2000 and probably Xp, you can exploit the much smarter command processor (not that it comes close to bash or even sh):

Code: Select all

for /F "delims=" %f in (mylistoffiles.txt) do del "%f"

The delims option is there to accept file names with spaces in them.

If you record that in a .bat file (I prefer to name such "smarter" batch files .cmd), you have to double the %'s. For instance:

Code: Select all

for /F "delims=" %%f in (%1) do del "%%f"
