FILENAME variable?

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!

Gabor

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.

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!
