Powerpro gurus: Is there a way to copy the path of the selected file in an explorer window to the clipboard without using the explorer context menu?
This is what I am trying to do: >From an open e-mail message, copy the file attachment to a folder (obtained from a user prompt) and save the path to the saved file, including the full folder path, in the e-mail message. For example, if an e-mail contains the attachment readthis.doc, I want to prompt the user for a folder to save the attachment in. (This is really not a prompt but another menu consisting of recent folders, fav folders, folder browser, etc. but this is not relevant). Assuming the user selected "C:\My Documents\Readlater", I want to save this attachment in C:\My Documents\Readlater\ and copy the path "C:\My Documents\Readlater\readthis.doc" to clipboard so that it can be pasted in the e-mail. The main problem is that the script does not know the name of the file and has to figure it out. I actually got this working, using an awkward combination of awkward scripts and awkward command lists, but it sometimes fails due to complex waits, etc. Basically, I created, for just this purpose, an explorer context menu item (with a &letter mnemonic) that copies the filepath to the clipboard and used Exec contextmenu to select this item in a script. Awkward, isn't it? Is there a better way? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar. Now with Pop-Up Blocker.
