[TC 11.01RC1] After creating the files and positioning the cursor, an error window appears

[Fla$her]

Press the button with the command: cm_Edit /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cd "test_120.txt"
Files have been created, the cursor has been set to the specified file, but an error window appears:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
File not found!
cm_Edit /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cd "test_120.txt"
---------------------------

Confirmed

The following happens:
1. TC executes cm_Edit /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt"
-> success
2. TC executes cd "test_120.txt"
-> Failure, you cannot cd to a file
3. TC assumes that the entire command line couldn't be executed and tries to launch it directly.
-> Error message

If you create a directory "test" and change the button command to
cm_Edit /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cd "test"
then it will run as it should.

2. TC executes cd "test_120.txt"
-> Failure, you cannot cd to a file

02.12.09 Added: Command line: Command "cd filename" places cursor directly on file with name "filename"

I see, I didn't know that this was your intention. The function returns FALSE because there was no directory change. When I change this to TRUE, then there is no problem.

I don't get any error using /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cd "test_120.txt" - but TC does not place test_120.txt under the cursor as it should (as white has pointed out).

NOTE: cd "test_120.txt" by itself does place the cursor on the file.

I tried with /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cd "%Q%Ptest_120.txt" With a clean wincmd.ini, that results in 120 Notepad windows beeing opened with some binary content inside!

I tried with /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cm_Wait 1000,cd "test_120.txt" - but the cd command is still not carried out.

Did you try using the command in a button?

I tried with /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cm_Wait 1000.cd "test_120.txt" - but the cd command is still not carried out.

You used a dot instead of a comma?

You used a dot instead of a comma?

I didn't in the actual button - there I used: /CGL0N="<12>test_[C].txt",cm_Wait 1000,cd "test_12.txt" - to no avail.

I have now changed the dot to a comma in the previous post.

You are using the parameter field and include commands in the parameter field?

[Fla$her]

2. TC executes cd "test_120.txt"
-> Failure, you cannot cd to a file

It's not that. I use this command almost every day through a script. I am surprised that you forgot about this possibility.
I also want to remind you about my request, the expected solution, where the first paragraph hints that there are no problems in normal folders to navigate to a file by name.

3. TC assumes that the entire command line couldn't be executed and tries to launch it directly.
-> Error message

That's what I understood. It needs to be corrected so that there is no error.


2petermad
The command is specified for the first field in the button. That's how it should be called.
You can replace test_120.txt with test_1.txt. It will be the same, the cursor will be placed on the first file instead of the last.

Yes - silly me - of course the cd command cannot be executed from the Parameters field.

With cm_Edit /CGL0N="<120>test_[C].txt",cd "test_120.txt" in the Commands field I can confirm that I get the error message:

---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
File not found!

cm_Edit /CGL0N="<12>test_[C].txt",cd "test_12.txt"



"Den angivne fil blev ikke fundet."
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Interesting with the Danish message in the last line, when I am running TC with English language.

[Fla$her]

but TC does not place test_120.txt under the cursor

And after clarifications?

[petermad]

And after clarifications?

The cursor IS placed at the file, before the error message is shown.

[ghisler(Author)]

The cursor IS placed at the file, before the error message is shown.

Yes, the "cd" command is being executed, but it returns FALSE by mistake (because there is no directory change).

[Fla$her]

because there is no directory change

In this case, there are 2 ways out:
1. Disable this check.
2. In addition to checking the directory change, check whether the specified file name matches the one under the cursor. The error should not be displayed if one of the two conditions is met.
