Copy/Move parts of path

[sk2107]

Hello,

I need some help with copying/moving files to solve the issue of long paths, I choose to filter the long paths (fullpathlen:>255) for folders and change the length by changing the path taking the first 3 parts of the path and the last 2 parts of the path.

I learned before how to change the first part by using

Old Format: ^.*\\([^\\]*)\\([^\\]*)\\([^\\]*)$
New Format: f:\\newfolder\\\1\\\2\\\3

Thank you

This might work (did not try to move the folders)
Will very likely not work on UNC paths (\\server\share\fodler\)


Menu => Edit => Advanced => Advanced Move To Folder

Code: Select all

Old = ^([^\\]+)\\([^\\]+)\\([^\\]+).*\\([^\\]+)\\([^\\]+)$
New = \1\\\2\\\3\\\4\\\5

I will try that, thanks a lot.

Hello ,

It worked perfect but I faced a problem with ':' as I want to copy/move while keeping the drive letter after the new path of the target location.

Thank you
