Open cmd in a specific location Example D:/text
And only show the files with the .txt extension
Example
Dir..../D:/text
Text1.txt
Text2.txt
Text3.txt
And add the function to select the text1 or 2 or 3
Using a numbers or something like
1- Text1.txt
2- Text2.txt
3- Text3.txt
And after selecting 1 or any, open the file with a specific program without changing the default app opening in windows (notepad)
I wanna open the .txt file with sublime text editor (portable version)
And all this in a batch file.
You should at least show us what did you tried as code until now !
This a little starting to list text files with numbers and counting them :
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "ROOT=%~dp0"
SET "EXT=*.txt"
ECHO -----------------------------------------------
ECHO Listing text files on this folder - "%ROOT%"
ECHO -----------------------------------------------
SET "Count=0"
SETLOCAL enabledelayedexpansion
REM Iterates throw the files on this current folder.
REM And Populate the array with existent files in folder
FOR %%f IN ("%ROOT%\%EXT%") DO (
SET /a "Count+=1"
set list[!Count!]=%%~nxf
)
set Files=%Count%
ECHO.
rem Display array elements
for /L %%i in (1,1,%Files%) do echo file number [%%i] : "!list[%%i]!"
SET /a "COUNT_TOT=%Count%"
ECHO.
ECHO Total of text files(s) : %Count% file(s)
EndLocal
