Re: Merge txt files for selected files

Yes, check the Clipboard page in the docs as you can see the after ^c the clipboard will hold a list of selected files (you can also search the forum for more sophisticated solutions to get "selected files" from explorer)

Parse the list using a loop, do a FileRead + FileAppend to merged file (don't forget to include a separator such as a "new line" between files).

Try something, post code if you get stuck.

ControlGet with the List/Selected flags. Then FileOpen each file and write them out to a new file.

Thank you!!

But ControlGet doesn't work for me :(

Code: Select all

ControlGet, List, List, Selected,, A
Loop, Parse, List, `n  ; Rows are delimited by linefeeds (`n).
{
    RowNumber := A_Index
    Loop, Parse, A_LoopField, %A_Tab%  ; Fields (columns) in each row are delimited by tabs (A_Tab).
        MsgBox Row #%RowNumber% Col #%A_Index% is %A_LoopField%.
}
Trying that code but it does nothing..

To get the selected files try:

Code: Select all

F10::
clipboard := ""
Send ^c
Clipwait, 2
Loop, Parse, clipboard, `n  ; Rows are delimited by linefeeds (`n).
    MsgBox File #%A_index% is %A_LoopField%.
return
