Flexible file / folder target paths

[somerandomhash]

After having an attempt at CybTekSol's BetaNews FileForum Templates and having an issue combining it with mazzthepianoman's post Application update ToDo list on your desktop FranciscoR was good enough to expand on it.

 

He has answered my problem (fixed and working as well as some handy tips for managing this very powerful & flexible asept of Ketarin so I though I would post them here, feel free to add your own (although maybe these should really be Templates?)

 

The following would be entered in Ketarin 'Save as a file'

 

{target}\{category}\{appname:replace: :_}_v{version:replace: :_}.{url:ext}

 

would 'save' to DRIVE:Target\Category\appname_v0.ext *you may not get this exact result i.e v could be 0.1.2.3

- This is highly flexible, you can do anything with it:

{target}\{category}\
{target}\{category}\{appname}\
{target}\{category}\{appname}_{version}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\{url:basefile}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\{url:basefile}_{version:replace: :.}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\wlx_{appname}_{version}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\wcx_{appname}_{version:replace: :_}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\{appname}_{version:replace:Vwr_Port:.}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\{appname}_{version:replace: (Build :.}.{url:ext}
{target}\{category}\{appname}_{version:replace:PortablePreRel:.}.{url:ext}

Well, I'd say "don't quote me on this one" but you already did that. The targets I use really depend on my moods, you can simplify them even further using regex class subtraction... but I'm glad you find example usefull.

This is a perfect example of what has developed somewhat of an obsession in Ketarin for me. Power & flexibilty... and it's only going to get better with Flo's efforts and user testing/input! ALL UNITED as ONE for the COMMON GOOD... what the WWW was meant to be!
