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.
