obtain name and path

09 Jan 2022, 16:16

I need to make a menu with ahk. I have the script to do it.

Any menu needs an ini file

of this sort or type
Spoiler

I need of a folder obtain the name of any file inside it : folder, file, shortcut, url. And the complete path or the url .
name is the title+number in the ini file
path + number is the path or the url of the element contained in the folder.

Do you know any script to do this ?
Best Regards

Code: Select all

ini := StrReplace(A_ScriptFullPath, ".ahk", ".ini"), path := {}
IniRead, titles, %ini%, Titles
IniRead, paths, %ini%, Paths
For each, line in StrSplit(titles, "`n")
 If ((part := StrSplit(line, "=")).2 > ""
  && RegExMatch(paths, "m`a)" StrReplace(part.1, "Title", "Path") "=\K.+", commandLine)
  && path[part.2] := commandLine)
   Menu, menu, Add, % part.2, Go

F3::Menu, menu, Show ; F3 = Show the menu

Go:
Run, % path[A_ThisMenuItem]
Return

Is running, but I don't see where is creating the ini file. I give the name "obtain the ini file.ahk"

I execute the script in the same folder where are the icons I try to obtain title and patch.

It reads the INI file that you have posted. Another way is below. It gets EXE paths or whatever is specified as the target, rather than other command-line parameters. Adjust as needed.

Code: Select all

dir  := A_ScriptDir
ini  := StrReplace(A_ScriptFullPath, ".ahk", ".ini")
n    := 0
path := {}

Loop, Files, %dir%\*.*
{ SplitPath, A_LoopFilePath,,, ext, ttitle
  Switch ext {
   Case "lnk": FileGetShortcut, %A_LoopFilePath%, commandLine
   Case "url": FileRead, ttext, %A_LoopFilePath%
               RegExMatch(ttext, "m`a)URL=\K.+", commandLine)
   Default   : Continue
  }
  n++, path[ttitle] := commandLine
  IniWrite, %ttitle%, %ini%, Titles, Title%n%
  IniWrite, %commandLine%, %ini%, Paths, Path%n%
  Menu, menu, Add, %ttitle%, Go
}

F3::Menu, menu, Show ; F3 = Show the menu

Go:
Run, % path[A_ThisMenuItem]
Return
To get arguments:

Code: Select all

Case "lnk": FileGetShortcut, %A_LoopFilePath%, target,, args
            commandLine := args > "" ? args : target

But the target not is to read the ini file, only create one with the shortcuts (title and path) of any folder, url and file inside the folder.....
