Copy Full Date&Time (with seconds) into a txt file

[Marok]

Hello!
I'm a registered user of Total Commander since 20+ years and I really like it.
Now, I'm looking for a command that's really similar to cm_CopyFullNamesToClip:

I need to copy into a text file the DATE and TIME (with seconds!) of all files of a directory.

I specify "with seconds" because, otherwise, standard "dir /b" command in a dos batch file would be good enough.
Someone knows if something like that already exists?

(A solution that includes Nir Commander or any other software would also be ok, but I haven't found anything anywhere!)

A brilliant alternative solution could be to search results for *.*, then open into panel (with seconds, using the "custom columns" option) and then log the panel results into a file, but I've no idea about how to do that.
If it exits any way to copy into a log file the panel results, like we can easily do with simple search results, we've done!

Thanks you a lot!

set up a custom view, and include a column like this:
Contents*=[=tc.writedate.Y.M.D h:m:s]

Make a button like like this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip

wcmicon.dll,19
Clipboard: Data >>

0

Oh, as Dalai pointed out, there's even a ready-to-go built-in menu entry for this.

Select the files/folders in question, hit the button menu (see Dalai's message), open your preferred text editor, and paste data there.

That's one of the ways.

And this is how it might look:

Edit. regarding Dalai's input.

You can use the command cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip which is available via menu Mark > Copy To Clipboard With All Details. Since TC 10.50 this command also supports optional parameters:

Code: Select all

12.04.22 Release Total Commander 10.50 beta 1
[...]
09.03.22 Added: cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip, cm_CopyHdrFileDetailsToClip etc. now accept parameter to copy only specific columns (1=name+ext, 2=first custom, 4=second custom etc.) in normal, comments, and custom columns view. Parameter 1 alone copies full list with headers, for backwards compatibility (32/64)

WOW!!! It works!

Thanks both *beb and dalai for your quick and brilliant help, you're really great!!!

With TC 10.50 you don't even have to make a custom view, you can choose to have the seconds displayed in Full View via "Configuration" -> "Tabstops/Data formats" -> "Date format" - > "hh:mm:ss"

A little bit late but you can achieve it also with TCBL. See forum.
in a tcbl.ini add a section like:

Code: Select all

[dateIntxt]
; output file in first parameter
ini=o $1\FileDate.txt
;Date/Time Format
ini=# %m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S
ini=x
ini=q
ini=K
;output file and modification date (File without path use $n)
cmd=$f	$#m

if you install tcbl in a tool\tcbl folder under %commander_path%, you ca create such button !

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%commander_path%\tools\tcbl\tcbl.exe
-i %L dateIntxt %T
%systemroot%\system32\imageres.dll,273
Save modification date to FileDate.txt in %T (Target folder) 
%P
0
-1

Select all the files you want to list and click on the button.
