Apple][e/PD/FileAct/!FileAct/Docs/Guide
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

//
//
// Introduction
//
//
FileAct can perform freely programmable operations on multiple files and/or
directories, which takes the chore out of many common tasks. In addition,
FileAct can be used to detect specific keypresses, and execute corresponding
code (enabling keypress application launches, keypress execution of common
OSCLI commands, etc..).
The operation to perform on the target objects (i.e. a set of files and/or
directories) is defined by an OSCLI-type command line which is executed using
Wimp_StartTask (which enables an external program to be invoked if needed).
The command line definition may contain 'variables', which are replaced by
(parts of) the object's full pathname before execution of the command line.
For example, something like 'strip off the last two characters of the object
pathname' may be specified by 'Rename %f %p.%L001-02' (for an explanation,
see below). The full pathname of the target object is also available
seperately as the value of a system variable.
An operation may be invoked by :
- Dragging a set of objects to a command line definition icon.
- Dragging a set of objects to the icon bar icon.
- Double-clicking on an object while holding down an Alt or Ctrl key.
//
//
// Using FileAct
//
//
On FileAct's iconbar menu the usual 'Info' and 'Quit' icons can be found. In
addition, 'Control' gives access to the 'FileAct control' window (click on
'Control' to make the window permanent) and 'Status' gives access to the
'Status' menu. The 'FileAct control' window and the 'Status' menu are
described below.
//
//
// The 'FileAct control' window
//
//
In this window, you will find two parts, called 'Actions' and 'Options'.
The 'Actions' part has two subparts : three columns of radio icons (headed by
'Bar', 'Alt' and 'Ctl'), and a set of writable icons (below the icon saying
'No action').
The command line definitions may be specified in the writable icons (there is
room for seven different command line definitions). Dragging a set of objects
to this icon will perform the operation directly. The 'Bar', 'Alt' and 'Ctl'
columns select the operation to perform when a set of objects is dragged to
FileAct's icon bar icon ('Bar' column), or when an object is double-clicked
on while holding down an Alt key ('Alt' column), or when an object is
double-clicked on while holding down a Ctrl key ('Ctl' column). When 'No
action' is selected, no operation is performed.
The 'Options' part contains a flag called 'Recurse'. If 'Recurse' is checked,
and a target object is a directory, all of the contents of that directory is
also processed, recursively.
NOTE : Use the 'Recurse' option with caution. If you execute a potentially
harmful operation, the damage you can do if recursion is enabled is, of
course, much larger.
//
//
// Command line definitions
//
//
On execution of a command line, the full pathname of the target object is
always available in the system variable 'FileAct$ObName'. This may be useful
in a number of situations.
Prior to execution, the command line definition is scanned for special
sequences of the form '%<id>', which will be replaced by the corresponding
part of the full pathname of the target object.
The <id> selects which part is substituted. In the examples following, the
object's full pathname is 'adfs::mydisc.$.dir1.dir2.fred'.
---------------------------------------------------------
<id> Meaning Result for example
---------------------------------------------------------
f full pathname adfs::mydisc.$.dir1.dir2.fred
p (pre-leaf) pathname adfs::mydisc.$.dir1.dir2
s filing system name adfs
m media name mydisc
d directory path $.dir1.dir2
l leafname fred
---------------------------------------------------------
In addition, by using upper case characters (i.e. F,P,S,M,D or L), the part
may be cut down further by a MID$-like operation, as in BASIC.
The full <id> is then of the form '<upchar><arg1><arg2>', where <upchar> is
the upper case selection character, and <arg1> and <arg2> are 3-character
values representing the arguments for the MID$ function (i.e. their VAL is
taken). When a value is negative or zero, the value LEN(r$)+value is taken,
where r$ is the pathname part selected.
Some examples :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
<id> Result for example Function
-------------------------------------------------------------------
F001-01 adfs::mydisc.$.dir1.dir2.fre MID$(r$,1,LENr$-1)
D003005 dir1. MID$(r$,3,5)
L-02002 re MID$(r$,LENr$-2,2)
F002000 dfs::mydisc.$.dir1.dir2.fred MID$(r$,2,LENr$)=MID$(r$,2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The power of this scheme will be demonstrated by giving a few example command
line definitions :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Definition Result for example
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rename %f %f! Appends a '!' to the end of the object's name
Rename %f %p.%L001002 Truncates leafname to first two characters
Rename %f %p.%L001-01 Cuts off last character of leafname
Rename %f %p.%L002000 Cuts off first character of leafname
Rename %f %s::%m.$.%l Move object to root of media it's on
Access %f WR Set object's access to public write/read
SetType %f 123 Set object's filetype to &123
Namedisk :%m %l Names the object's disc 'fred'
Type %f -TabExpand *Types file, with TAB expansion
Dump %f 1000 *Dumps file, from PTR=&1000 onwards
---------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//
// Key definitions
//
//
FileAct can also execute specific command lines on detecting specific
keypresses.
To use this feature you have to create a key definition file, containing a
list of keypresses to be detected, and the corresponding command line to
execute.
The key definition file simply consists of a number of definition lines. A
definition line starts with a key token, followed by a single space
character, followed by the command line to execute. If the key token is not
recognized, the definition line is ignored (you may use this to insert
comments).
A valid key token consists of a single character specifying the 'special' key
to be pressed, followed by an uppercase A..Z or 0..9, or 'TAB' (for the TAB
key). The special key characters are :
's' : SHIFT
'c' : CTRL
'a' : ALT
'n' : none, i.e. the key must be pressed on its own
E.g. 'cH' means 'CTRL and H pressed simultaneously', 'nA' means 'A pressed on
its own', 'sTAB' means 'SHIFT and TAB pressed simultaneously', etc..
An example key definition file would be :
cF Run IDEFS::4.$.!FileAct
n0 Filer_OpenDir ADFS::0.$
The pathname of the key definition file is '<FileAct$KeyActDir>.KeyDefs',
i.e. the system variable 'FileAct$KeyActDir' must be set to the directory
path, without a trailing '.' (FileAct's !Run file is a good place for this),
and your key definition file must be called 'KeyDefs' and placed in that
directory. The !Run file that comes with your !FileAct copy may contain
somebody elses setting for 'FileAct$KeyActDir', so you probably want to
change this to your own. If the 'FileAct$KeyActDir' system variable is
undefined on startup, or if the directory that it points to does not exist,
or if the definition file 'KeyDefs' cannot be found in that directory,
FileAct's keypress functions will be silently disabled.
There is an example key definition directory called 'KeyActDir' inside the
!FileAct.Examples directory.
NOTE : FileAct will only try to detect keypresses if the caret is 'disowned'
(i.e. if it is not used by any application), because otherwise all keypresses
that have a 'FileAct definition' would cause two different things to happen
at the same time. E.g. pressing '0' in a writable icon would not only insert
a '0' but also cause FileAct's 'n0' definition to be executed each time.
RELATED NOTE : Pressing the right-hand ALT key and the right-hand CTRL key
together is pre-programmed to disown the caret, enabling FileAct to react to
keypresses immediately afterwards.
//
//
// The 'Status' menu
//
//
In this menu you can manipulate FileAct's 'status', which consists of a
number of configuration settings.
- 'Save' will save the current status.
- 'Load' will load the saved status.
- 'Default' will load the default status.
- 'Kill' will remove the saved status.
When FileAct starts up it loads the saved status, or the default status if
there is no saved status.
The status consists of the 'Actions' and 'Options' settings.
