NewFile Script

[Dan_555]

Hi.

I'm using the FreeCommander XE file manager here, and i'v written a script, which will create an empty, new file, after choosing an extension out from the Listbox.

 

The listview code  is not mine, iv found the scripts somewhere on this forum. I have no credits in it, because it was intended to be only for my personal use.

But now, i have a lot of free time, so i remembered that i haven't posted anything on this forum, yet, so here is my first script:

It should be compiled with the Autoit v3.3.14.3 .

The compiled exe needs a folder passed as a parameter, so that it know where to create the new file.

A Listbox is opened, with a selection of available extensions.

After selecting and doubleclicking (or using the ok button), the script creates a filename (if specified in the config file) with increased numbers (up to 9999).

If the filename exist, the counter is checking the next number, until the maximum is reached.

This script uses an ini file for configuration, called "NewFile.ini" which should be in the same folder, as the compiled exe.

NewFile.au3

Possible bug fixing ...

Hi, here is an updated version of the script. Now it can, optionally, make the new file and to copy the clipboard content into it.

To copy Clipboard text, select an extension, then click on "Save Clip Text" button, instead of ok. 

Save Clip Text is only available if the clipboard is holding text formated data,  and if the extension is selected.

Ok button is only clickable, if an extension is selected. (hint. you can double click on the extension, to create an empty file).

Edit: 9.4.2020 - Fixed the bug (the 3 null bytes at the end of the file do not appear now.)  

Edit:26.02.2023 - Replaced the Label with input box, now you can enter a custom filename and Newfile will save it under that name if it does not exist, or add numbers if the file exists.

Update: Added a configuration window.

Edit:04.03.2023 - New version (post #2): Now the last used extension will be automatically selected.

You can optimize ini files to easily add and modify ini files without rewriting code:

expandcollapse popup

[Ext_Conf]
count= 10

[Ext_1]
Ext= au3
Title= AutoIt Script

[Ext_2]
Ext= ahk
Title= Auto Hotkey

[Ext_3]
Ext= txt
Title= Text

[Ext_4]
Ext= sdlbas
Title= Sdl Basic

[Ext_5]
Ext= html
Title= Webpage

[Ext_6]
Ext= bas
Title= Basic

[Ext_7]
Ext= pas
Title= Pascal

[Ext_8]
Ext= rtf
Title= Rich Text (RTF)

[Ext_9]
Ext= doc
Title= Word Document

[Ext_10]
Ext= hex
Title= Hex File

Uhm,
currently the script can read unlimited extensions (within  the ini file limitations ... ). 
you just have to add some to the ini file, there is no need to change anything in the script.

Edit: While looking at the sourcecode i have noticed that i have inserted some code which could bypass the error checking.
this is now fixed (see post #1 + 2).

Updated the code in the 2nd post. 

It has now the configuration window. 

You can now change the default filename, turn on mouse x/y coordinate window spawn and add/arrange extensions in a edit box.
