Hi there!
I've got this list of files (simple dir /s /b > list.txt in command prompt)
Now I need to group them by subdirectory.
here's a small example:

Winter2008_2009
zomer2009
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000405.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000406.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000407.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000408.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000409.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000410.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000411.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\hakje
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000317.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000519.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000563.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000739.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\hakje\L1000363.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\hakje\L1000364.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\hakje\L1000426.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\hakje\L1000427.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\hakje\L1000634.JPG

What I now need is actually a group of output files with in each file ONLY the JPG's with relative path.
So that would be a file containing :
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000405.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000406.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000407.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000408.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000409.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000410.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Bijzonderetassen\L1000411.JPG

and a file containing
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000317.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000519.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000563.JPG
Winter2008_2009\Damesmode\Bandje\L1000739.JPG

and so on and so on.
When I have those files I need to convert these paths and files to HTML code, but we'll see that when we get there.
I've tried something with 'jpg' [mustendwith (cr or lf)], but that just selected the 'JPG' part, not the whole line.
The idea was to insert something like "####" at the beginning of the line and then delete all the lines not starting with "####" but now that I read this back, it is in fact the same as deleting all the lines not ending in "JPG"... oh my I start to sound incoherent.

Bottom line: how can I remove at least the lines that contain just the subdir path and not a filename ending with JPG, and is it possible to split them up into different output files?
hope to hear soon,

Oh, I purchased TextPipe Lite Single User, so I think all the Pro options are out of my reach...

OK, got some further now:
I applied a perl filter to the text:

^.*?jpg$

I sent the non-matching lines to a subfilter:

^.*$

after which I chose the action "Remove" from the dropdown box.
This left me with just the lines with folders actually containing files.

Then I added the filter "Remove blank lines" and now I've got a whole bunch of filenames in one big file.
So now the latter part: is it possible to put this in different files based on the folder name?

Sure - use the Restriction to select just one set of files, and inside it use a Secondary Output Filter followed by a Remove All filter.
Then use the final output filter to collect the remaining files.

e.g.

hmmmm..... Feeling rather blonde here...
I understand what you mean, but how can I use the example? I am not quite familiar with the whole clipboard technology, and now I tried copying and pasting the example in the clipboard and get the input from the clipboard:

TextPipe Single User Edition

| TextPipe uses 'filters' to perform changes to each file. This 'filter list' is a sequence of changes, like 3 different search and replace operations.
|
| You can add filters from the Filter menu above - Convert, Add, Remove, Unicode, Replace, Special, Maps, Email, Restrict.
|
| For:
| * Search/replace - look in the Replace Menu
| * Unix/DOS/Mainframe End-of-line conversion - look in the Convert Menu
| * Extract email addresses - look in the Email Menu
| * Remove HTML codes - look in the Remove Menu
| * Join (merge) files together - look in the Special Menu
| * Split files apart - look in the Special Menu
| * Join files and then sort them - add a Special Menu\Merge filter followed by a Special Menu\Sort filter
|
| Just click the menu item to add the filter to the list.
|
| You'll find many examples just by clicking File\Open, or you can use File\Search to locate a filter.
|
| You can also ask questions in the TextPipe Discussion Forums -

D:\Websites\Wonink Dieren\Foto's nieuwe collectie wonink schoenmode\lijst.txt.txt

However, the program complains that there is no filter.
So, to the point: how can I build a filter with Textpipe Light that works like the above example?
Again: feeling rather blonde here....

You need to add the filters above, then drag them into the structure shown. There's no clipboard magic for this one yet - but it is coming!

Please try the attachment

Hi there!
thanks for the swift support!
However.... this solution doesn't seem to work with me. I've tried dragging filters in such a tree structure, but I couldn't find them. So I took your advise and got the zipfile and tried it with that.
And Lo and Behold.... still nothing. However, the problem became more clear as why I couldn't find the needed filters: I need to have TextPipe Pro, and I just have 1 x TextPipe Lite Single User License Receipt number: xxxxx

So, any further suggestions (other than upgrading to the Pro version for $365? )

You'll need at least TextPipe Standard ($199) to do this one. You can upgrade here: http://www.datamystic.com/buy/textpipelite.html - enter a conversion amount of 169.
