Insert directory listing into file

[rhmelis]

Hello,

Can Textpipe (or another Datamystic program) replace a string with a listing of the files in the current "read" directory?

For example: a directory holds the files test.txt, 1.txt and 2.txt.
Tetxpipe should then replace a string within 'test.txt' with:
test.txt
1.txt
2.txt

I hope you understand what i mean. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Sure Remco,

You can use the Scripting filter to do anything - like listing file contents.

Also see script filter\replace filename with file contents.fll

Hello Simon,

I lied.

I have no idea how to make this work. If I am correct, the script you pointed out changes the filename according the the filecontents??
I would like to replace a string within the file with a listing of the files in the same directory.

Could you give me another hint?

Thanks a lot

Use the FileSystemObject in the example I gave you to generate a file list. You will need to lookup documentation on its
FindFirst/FindNext functions with google.

Thanks for your help, but this scripting is beyond me. I'll try something else.

Tnhx,
