Extending the Command Script

[narayan]

No you are right. That example mixes two different stories. Actually it should concentrate on how to combine two or more commands with commas; and not mention that the combination is equivalent to ren DOS command. (That's not the point of that example).

That's what I meant by "needs to be reworded". This will be corrected in the next version.

Great! Looking forward to it  8)

Since we started the discussion about how to combine two or more commands with commas, I have had the problem, that some programs in their command line options use a comma for specifying options.
E.g. I have used IrfanView (for cropping images) with a command line option like
/crop=(x,y,w,h)
To avoid having a new command lien I had to set up something like
/crop=(x#y#w#h)
and let xplorer2 create the script, then edit and change # to comma and the run the srcipt (even using a replace batch file).

Nikos, would it be possible to include an option in xplorer2 to use another character for separation (like # or something never used anywhere instead of the comma)?
This would help a lot.

Thanks

i think the escape is two commas in a row, i.e. if you want to have a comma inserted then put two of them

Thanks Nikos, that helped.
