PSTextMerge File Directory Specification

PSTextMerge User Guide

The following special column headings are predefined for file directory entries.

Sort Key
Used for sorting the directory entries alphanumerically, without regards to case (upper or lower) or punctuation. The complete file path will appear here, all in lower-case, with spaces between file directories, and spaces replacing punctuation.
Folder1 through Foldern
Folder1 will contain the first sub-directory name, within the specified input directory, if this entry came from a sub-directory. Folder1 through Foldern columns will appear, where “n” is the maximum directory depth - 1 (since a maximum directory depth of 1 indicates no sub-directory explosion at all).
Path
The series of folders, with each folder/directory separated from the previous one with a slash, between the top level folder selected and the file name identified later in this row.
File Name
Name of the file or sub-directory.
Type
The type of directory entry: “File” or “Directory”.
English Name
A file name with standardized spacing, without punctuation, and without a file extension.
File Name w/o Extension
The file name without its extension.
File Ext
The file extension, if a file and if it has one.
File Size
Size of the file, in bytes.
Last Mod Date
Date of last change to the file, in “yyyy-mm-dd” format.
Last Mod Time
Time of last change to the file, in “hh:mm:ss zzz” format, where “hh” is a 24-hour (military) hour, “mm” is minutes, “ss” is seconds and “zzz” is an abbreviation of the time zone.
Word1 through Word5
The file name, without directories and without extension, will be broken down into up to five separate fields, using punctuation, spaces, and case transitions to demarcate words.
