How: search within a file >> create a two column list

[JimmyTheBroker]

Hi guys,

I want to search within a file. and then create a two column list
First column says the location of the file
Second column says the file name and type

eg
F:\WSP - Work\something.docx
F:\WSP - Work\New Folder\something1.docx
F:\WSP - Work\something3.xslx


would become:
F:\WSP - Work\ something.docx
F:\WSP - Work\New Folder\ something1.docx
F:\WSP - Work\ something3.xslx


Thanks guys,

Jimmy

Just create a custom column with:

Code: Select all

[=tc.path]
[=tc.name].[=tc.ext]

Do your search and then just press "Feed to listbox"
Finally apply your just created custom column.

Hi,

I am able to get the custom view: one column of file names, and a second one of their paths. How can I copy these two columns of information into excel?


thanks,
Jimmy

Copy and paste text below (in code box) into your button bar

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_SaveDetailsToFileW

Wcmicons3.dll,126


0
2044

Click Right Mouse button on created one and change icon and tooltip to your taste.

In Save Dialog name you file as what_you_want.csv

as alternative you can utilize the TC internal command

cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip=2036;Copy all shown columns



and just paste into Excel. Then in Excel remove column A with the copied default name.ext TC-column.

Excel:

Code: Select all

A                          |  B                    |   C
Name Ext                   |  path                 |   name                              
wcmd_win7amd64_1_eng.inc   |  X:\ToCmd\LANGUAGE\   |   wcmd_win7amd64_1_eng.inc          
wcmd_win7amd64_2_eng.mnu   |  X:\ToCmd\LANGUAGE\   |   wcmd_win7amd64_2_eng.mnu 

Code: Select all

  A                    |  B                           |   C
  path                 |   name                       |
  X:\ToCmd\LANGUAGE\   |   wcmd_win7amd64_1_eng.inc   |
  X:\ToCmd\LANGUAGE\   |   wcmd_win7amd64_2_eng.mnu   |

Extra tip:
try "Extended English Menus for Total Commander by petermad"
A alternative menu file which provides all the TC commands, and some more too.

Without the need to create anything, TC already provides this function in the default menus: Mark > Copy to clipboard with all details.
