Display each COLORDIR type and colour on its own line.

[Joe Caverly]

I like the /N switch of the PATH command,
which allows me to display each path directory on its own line.

I have duplicated this,
to the best of my ability,
to work with each COLORDIR type/colour on its own line.

@setlocal
@echo off
:: Batch Name: colordir.btm

Gosub ColorDir2File
Gosub File2ColorDir

defer type %temp\colordir.txt
endlocal
quit

:ColorDir2File
set ColorDirCount=%@words[";",%Colordir]
set ColorDirCount=%@DEC[%ColorDirCount]
if exist %temp\colordir.txt del /q %temp\colordir.txt
do kount=0 to %ColorDirCount
  echo %@word[";",%kount,%ColorDir] >> %temp\colordir.txt
enddo
Return

:File2ColorDir
unset colordir
do c in @%temp\colordir.txt (set COLORDIR=%COLORDIR;%c)
::
:: Remove the first ; character
::
set colordir=%@right[-1,%colordir]
Return

Example output;

R:\>colordir
dll:bri yel on bla
hrb:bri whi on bla
EXETYPE_WIN32CUI:blue
EXETYPE_WIN32GUI:bri blue
EXETYPE_WIN64GUI:bri red
EXETYPE_WIN64CUI:red
EXETYPE_DOS:bri cya

This display format makes it easier to see what colour I have assigned to what file type.

Can't you just use %@replace[;,^n,%colordir]?

I have my directory colors set in the configuration rather than the colordir variable, so I can't test it. But the same thing with %path works.

>echo %@replace[;,^n,%path]
...
C:\WINDOWS\system32
C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\
C:\FPC\3.2.2\bin\i386-Win32
...

Thanks,
one line of code,
instead of many lines of code.
