Selecting files with same name or name+ext

Suppose you have a list of files like
_DSC8038.xmp
_DSC8032.xmp
_DSC8030.xmp
_DSC8021.xmp
_DSC8019.xmp

I would like to be able to select files with the same names but different extensions, like
_DSC8038.raw
_DSC8032.raw
_DSC8030.raw
_DSC8021.raw
_DSC8019.raw

And also to be able to select files with exactly same names+extensions on another panel.

Is there any way to create such plugin or command?

This command, e.g. in a button: cm_MatchSrc could also be interesting in connection with this topic:

Code: Select all

cm_MatchSrc	532	Target=Source
or this button:

Strange, it doesn't seem to work in beta 5, 32bit, Windows 7. I can see flickering but no marked files/folder while they should be. Will test Win10 later if I don't forget (looking at the commands it should work)

Edit: clipboard manager got in the way (TC commands to fast)

It's the 'list' of files in the directories illustrated by mSnus in the initial post, Flasher.

For All the commands that mentions elements, you can hold down the Shift-key while executing to include folders

The em_ext_markBySelectedNames and em_ext_select_source should do what is asked for in the first post.

This is not suitable for names with multiple dots. It should be done by analogy with the following example for the current item:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SELECTFILESS
<^%O\.?[^.]*$
wcmicons.dll,39
Select all items/files (w/wo Shift) with same base name under the cursor

works perfectly well for me with multiple dots in the name - which allso complies with the help:
Help wrote: The Start value -0 is special: %N:~-0,20 copies the first 20 characters of the name without extension, %N:~-0,-20 the first 20 characters of the extension without the name.

The parameters %S, %R, %P%S and %T%R in double quotes now support prefix and suffix text: "beforename%Sbeforeext%Eafterext" inserts string 'beforename' before the name, 'beforeext' before the last dot and extension, and 'afterext' after the extension.
--------------------

Code: Select all

<%O\.?[^.]*$
on the other hand does not work as expected - it only works for names that matches the name under the cursor - not for all selected names.

if I have for example these files:
DE.FA.ULT.BAR
De.fa.ult.zi
De.fa.ult.zip
x.x.yy.txa
x.x.yy.txt
xx.txt

and I mark:
De.fa.ult.zi
x.x.yy.txa
and place the cursor on xx.txt

Then only xx.txt is marked additionally

With my solution these files are marked:
DE.FA.ULT.BAR
De.fa.ult.zi
De.fa.ult.zip
x.x.yy.txa
x.x.yy.txt
as expected.
