Copy folder name w/o the "\"

[gezgin]

[TC 64 bit / Win10 all updates in place]
When I copy a folder's name to the clipboard using the "Copy filenames to clipboard" function (for which I've put a button on the Button Bar) TC includes a "\" at the end of the name that goes into the clipboard. Is there a way to keep that "\" from being picked up? My current workaround is to right-click on the folder, select "Rename" and manually copy only the part of the name (the part w/o the final "\") that I want. I need to do this sort of thing a lot. Is there a simpler way?

TIA

- you can activate (focus) the address bar and next copy the path , just without selecting the last sign
- you could create a button to execute an kind of script* to remove the last sign and copy the result to the clipboard


*) Batch / PowerShell / AutoHotkey / or a tool like Lefteous lst2clip

This button should do it:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMSPEC% /C
echo %N| clip
wcmicons.dll,45
Copy file name or folder name (whitout backslash) to clipboard

1
-1

To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

You can also make an em_command in you usercmd.ini file like this:

Code: Select all

[em_CopyNameToClipboardNoBackslash]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param=echo %N| clip
button=wcmicons.dll,45
menu=Copy file name or folder name (whitout backslash) to clipboard
iconic=1

And then assign for example the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C to the command in your wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[Shortcuts]
CS+C=em_CopyNameToClipboardNoBackslash

Petermad:
That is very cool. Thanks so much!

Thanks also Stefan2 for your suggestion. I was just about to explore Lefteous when I saw Petermad's quick fix.

If you have made the em_CopyNameToClipboardNoBackslash command, you can also alternatively use that for the button command:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_CopyNameToClipboardNoBackslash

wcmicons.dll,45
Copy file name or folder name (whitout backslash) to clipboard
