Re: Custom command patterns and !
Can anyone verify whether or not the middle exclamation point in "!?pass!word?!" would be read as an exclamation point, or would winscp expand it into a file name unless it was escaped, or something else? Should I surround the search phrase by single quotes instead of double?
The exclamation mark terminates the "prompt" pattern, so in
!?pass!word?!
, the !?pass!
is replaced by the user input, word?
is used literally and !
is replaced by the name of selected file. Quotes have no effect on the custom commands.
Also, can anyone clarify if !& expands to just selected files, or will it expand to a selected directory, too?
