get file name in text

[mightymax]

Does anyone know how I would insert the name of the file I'm working on into the text file?


Thanks, Max

In the Edit menu click on Copy File Path/Name. Paste it where you want with Ctrl+V and remove the path.

Second method is to create a template named "File name" with the template definition [FILE_NAME] oder [FULL_FILE_NAME] and assign a hotkey to this template. See help of UltraEdit about Templates.

My text files are already written is there any way to bring this function into a script?

Top
CopyFilePath
Find RegExp "href=__"
Paste



Thanks, Max

What about

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Top
CopyFilePath
Find RegExp "href=__"
Replace All "href=^c"

This would do the job, but the references are not valid html references, although Internet Explorer would execute it.

Thank you, I was able to come up with something similar.

Top
Loop
CopyFilePath
Find "__"
IfNotFound
ExitLoop
EndIf
Paste
EndLoop

How can you remove the path with a macro? Or may be it exist a copy file name without path and extension ?
Of course the path i want to remove is not the same for all files !

Can you help me ? My knowledge in UE macro language is as week as my english... i think i can understand but write it

Thanks,

Could you post a couple of examples?

Hello Jean-Marc!

If you only need the filename without extension, do not use the CopyFilePath command. Use instead a template.

Open Advanced - Display/Modify Templates.

At the dropdown list at the bottom of the dialog select a not used template number. 0- is default, if you don't have any templates. Enter a template name at top of the dialog, for example "Insert filename". And in the big edit area enter only [FILE_NAME].

You can now use the template manually via the menu, the template list, the toolbar or a hotkey or use it in a macro with the command Template 0. 0 is just an example for the template number. If "Insert filename" is assigned to template 6, use Template 6.
