I'm looking to add a menu item to Windows Explorer context menu for a certain file extension - for the purpose of this example let's say for MP3 files.
Upon rightclicking the file and selecting the menu item I want a command to be executed:
- Take filename and extension (but without the file path) of the file and add that to a new text file which is named the same.
Here's where I'm at with the registry file:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mp3\shell\Create Text File\command]
@="cmd.exe /C echo #filenameWithoutPath.mp3# >> #filename.txt#"
The ## indicates where I am blank. What I can't figure out is to build the command to take the filename of the selected file and add that with extension to a new text file of the same name.
I am almost there with this:
"cmd.exe /C echo %1 >> %1.txt"
However with this, the filename including path is entered to the file, and the output file name gets double extension (.mp3.txt).
