 |

I have searched but not found...
Does anybody know of a simple, hotkey activated script that can copy the file names of selected files from a Windows Explorer window? |

Hi Obi-Wahn and HugoV,
Thanks for your replies.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same as just using Ctrl + C? The result is that the files are copied.
I would like to copy the file names of the selected files to paste in a document listing a folder's files.
Hi SpiderGames,
Thanks for your reply.
I have been looking at FileSelectFile but I have not worked out how to use it yet. I shall experiment further unless somebody has any other suggestions. |

You are wrong, that´s why HugoV wrote: | Quote: | | Read the clipboard documentation there you will see indeed that it is a simple ctrl-c action. |
try this on selected files from a Windows Explorer window, to see yourself:
| Code: | t::
Send, ^c
MsgBox % Clipboard
return |

pretty problematic
for some reason unless you manually ctrl+c first it shows the previously selected file
| Code: | t::
Clipboard=
SendInput, ^c
Loop
if Clipboard
break
MsgBox % Clipboard
return |

| Code: | ControlGet, name, List, Selected, SysListView321, ahk_class CabinetWClass
MsgBox, %name% |
...another alternative. |

Thanks for putting me straight Z_Gecko,
I have tried your suggestion and I see the file names listed in the Message Box -
Thanks jaco0646,
Your suggestion works very well when I drag the files on to the AHK script - it displays the information in a message box.
Copying the resulting message to the clipboard works when I add an extra line to the end of the script:
| Code: | ControlGet, name, List, Selected, SysListView321, ahk_class CabinetWClass
MsgBox, %name%
clipboard = %name% |
