FILENAME variable?

Post by grevesz »

Hello,

In the replacement string, I need to put the filename of the file being edited with and without extension.
How do I do that?

Example:
If editing file1.txt, then the replacement string should be file1 file1.txt.
If editing file2.txt, then the replacement string should be file2 file2.txt.

Thanks in advance!

I don't believe you can do this in WildEdit.

While using TextPad, you could run a macro to Insert Filename, copy it to clipboard, and delete it. Then you could later paste it from the clipboard into WildEdit replacement field.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob

Since I think I would have to do that for each file, that would only be OK for a low number of files. Not for 100s...

Thanks anyway!
