Wfile - Batch Tool Ver. 1.5 (c) 2008-2013, Horst Schaeffer
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wfile includes two programs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ "FileToOpen" for source files
|
||
|
|
+ "FileToSave" for target files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The programs offer an "Open file" or "Save as" dialog window to select a file
|
||
|
|
or enter a file name, and makes the user's input available in the batch process.
|
||
|
|
Multi file selection is optional (FileToOpen).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The programs can be used to set an environment variable or to run a
|
||
|
|
program or command with the selected file(s).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The filename with full path will be appended to a user defined command
|
||
|
|
string and sendt to STDOUT.
|
||
|
|
This output must be redirected to a temporary batch file, which is CALLed
|
||
|
|
to execute the command. Alternatively, you can use a FOR /F construct as
|
||
|
|
described in "GetOutput.txt".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default the file path(s) will be returned in quote marks.
|
||
|
|
See option /noquote.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+++ General syntax (in square brackets: optional):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FileToOpen "CommandString" "PathAndFilters" ["WindowTitle"] [Options]
|
||
|
|
FileToSave "CommandString" "PathAndFilters" "WindowTitle" ["DefaultName"] [Options]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CommandString
|
||
|
|
will be prepended to the returnd file name(s)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PathAndFilters
|
||
|
|
is the initial path with one or more file pattern(s),
|
||
|
|
which must be separated by semicolon. Do not insert any space.
|
||
|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
C:\some\where\*.* offer all files
|
||
|
|
\*.doc from root of current drive: all DOC files
|
||
|
|
.\*.jpg;*.png;*.gif in current dir: JPG,PNG,GIF image files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WindowTitle
|
||
|
|
whatever you want to show in the title bar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DefaultName
|
||
|
|
to initialize the SaveAs name input box (without path!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each of the string parameters should be enclosed in quote marks,
|
||
|
|
to make sure that they are interpreted as entities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
General options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/noquote Returned file path(s) will not be enclosed in quote marks.
|
||
|
|
/noCRLF No CR+LF will be appended to the output line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FileToOpen options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/maynotexist The selected file may not exist, i.e. it is possible
|
||
|
|
to specify a new file name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/multiselect The user may select more that one file. The file names
|
||
|
|
are returned as a sequence, separated by blank space.
|
||
|
|
Each file name enclosed in quote marks by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FileToSave option:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/overwritePrompt ask permission if file already exists
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+++ Example to set a variable:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FileToOpen "SET fname=" ".\*.txt;*.doc" "Select file" > temp.bat
|
||
|
|
call temp.bat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(fname is a variable name of your choice)
|
||
|
|
This may produce a command like this in temp.bat:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SET fname="C:\selected\dir\myfile.txt"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+++ Example to run a program (Notepad) with the selected file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FileToOpen Notepad ".\*.txt;*.ini" "Open Text File" > temp.bat
|
||
|
|
call temp.bat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This may produce a command like this in temp.bat:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notepad "C:\selected\dir\MyFile.txt"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To test the output at the command prompt just omit the redirection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Command arguments must be separated by space (no commas!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remember to delete temporary batch files after use. A temporary file
|
||
|
|
in the %temp% directory is recommended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
