addcolumn:column1 column1:=$path:
-or-
addcolumn:column1 column1:=$pp:

$pp: = Path Part for short.


I'll add a $pathpart: alias..

If you are referring to the PATH_PART() function call:

column1:=pathpart("C:\Windows\Notepad.exe")
=>
column1:=C:\Windows

I mean you know how if you use path-part:"*\random\folder" it will give you all results where the last part of the path matches random\folder But I want to use it this on a custom column because it has other parameters too

But how do I combine like the last 4 brackets of a path so path-part(path:,4) something like this? for each file/folder's path ?

The last 4 subfolders/filename?

It gets ugly, but try something like:

Code: Select all

column1:=PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART(PATHPART(PATHPART($fullpath:)))),PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART(PATHPART($fullpath:))),PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART($fullpath:)),BASENAME($fullpath:))))

Doesnt seem to show any result except the command name in column 1

Update: Nevermind, I had made a typo

Also, how can I customize it so that I can show the last 3, 4 or however many number of slashes from the right end of the path working towards the left?

Remove or add PATHCOMBINE() as needed.

4 parts:

Code: Select all

 
column1:=PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART(PATHPART(PATHPART($fullpath:)))),PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART(PATHPART($fullpath:))),PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART($fullpath:)),BASENAME($fullpath:))))
3 parts:

Code: Select all

 
column1:=PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART(PATHPART($fullpath:))),PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART($fullpath:)),BASENAME($fullpath:)))
2 parts:

Code: Select all

 
column1:=PATHCOMBINE(BASENAME(PATHPART($fullpath:)),BASENAME($fullpath:))

I can't narrow down the results using a specified path ?

Replace $fullpath: with your path.

There's a few instances of $fullpath:
Please make sure you replace each instance of $fullpath:
