Scripting Alt+C

[ricmarte]

I am not sure if I can do this with X2 but I didn't find an answer in the help or forum archives.


1) Select all of the files in a Pane (Ctrl+A)
2) Copy the paths of Files in Pane (Alt+C)
3) Send this text to the Editor
4) Launch Steps1-3 by clicking a toolbar button.

What I am trying to do is search for MP3s and send the list to Editor so I can save it as an M3U file. Once I can do this, I would like to excute these actions from a button.

Using a command like,

>C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe /ADD $A

adds the list of MP3 to Winamp's playlist.  However, I just do know how to send that information to a text editor instead.

For example, this following text causes an error, when a list of MP3's are selected:

> C:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2BETA\editor2_UC.exe $A

Any ideas? Or Dos Tutorials, I can look up?  Thanks,

-Ric

that kind of scripting isn't directly possible, but there are a number of external "macro" type programs that can send a sequence of keys/inputs to any program, so you can conceivably achieve what you're after
