How to I make a script that print all my mp3's from a folder in notepad?

GetFileList>c:\files*.*,files
Separate>files,;,file_names

run>notepad
let>nr=0
label>start
let>nr=nr+1
if>nr>file_names_count,stop
send>file_names_%nr%
press enter

goto>start

label>stop

This script make a list of all the files in the folder, inc. folder structue.
How can I make sure I'm only getting the filetype .mp3, and how can I get rid of the folder adress of the files?

Run Program>cmd /c dir /B /S /O:N /L C:\mydirectory\*.mp3 > MyMp3.txt

cmd = WINNT/W2K/XP
command = WIN9x/ME

Check the syntax of the dir command --> cmd /k dir /?

okay thx!

but i'm stil ending up with the folder adress, in from of the filename.
And special characters like ÃƒÂ¦ÃƒÂ¸ÃƒÂ¥ (often used in Denmark) are being replaced by "Ã¢â‚¬Âº" and "'". could I make Macro scheduler replace them automatic?

Hi,

What is wrong with the following version of your script:

GetFileList>C:\files\*.mp3,files
Separate>files,;,file_names

run>notepad
let>nr=0
label>start
let>nr=nr+1
if>nr>file_names_count,stop
send>file_names_%nr%
press enter

goto>start

label>stop

This lists all .mp3 files in c:\files\ in Notepad.

I just need to get rid of "the files adress", it's not just only the filename the script returns...

script returns:
c:\files\blabla.mp3

I want it to return:
blabla.mp3

Hi,

Simple - just use MidStr to remove it. Here's your modified script:

Let>path=C:\files\
Let>ext=mp3

Length>path,lenp
Let>lenp=lenp+1
GetFileList>%path%*.%ext%,files
Separate>files,;,file_names

run>notepad
let>nr=0
label>start
let>nr=nr+1
if>nr>file_names_count,stop
Length>file_names_%nr%,lenf
MidStr>file_names_%nr%,lenp,lenf,file_name_only
send>file_name_only
Press Enter
Press Enter
goto>start

label>stop

Set the first two lines for the path and file extension you are interested in.
