RT_WriteFileList(String,String,bool "append"=false)
Non-clip function.
This function, takes as the first string, a filename template with wildcards, this template can be eg
"Fred.jpg" or "Fr?d.jp*g". where the '?' character matches any single character and the '*' wildcard matches zero or more characters.
v1.03, Can take multiple pipe ('|') separated Wilcards in the extension ONLY, as in "D:\Pics\*.BMP|JP*G|PNG"
The second string is the output filename which will be created and contain the files matching the input file template.
The function will return the number of filenames written into the output file. Directories are ignored altogether
and not written to the output file. A return of -1 indicates a problem opening/writing the output file.
v1.06, Append, if true appends to existing file. NOTE, the return value does NOT include any already existing
filenames if append is true (use RT_FileQueryLines to inquire total number of filenames when append = true).
It dont cope with directories (ignored - one day I might do same to fetch a list of folder names so you can scan on those too).
Do search on "RT_WriteFileList", one script using it here:-

I accidentally deleted some files, and recovered some 1000's of text files all with names like asaoidajljlasa.txt,
is really tedious having to look though 10,000 text files so i made a script that showed any files containing a particular word on
a video clip frame. Much easier just moving to next frame instead of loading another text file into a text editor.
# ShowTextFiles.avs
/*
Req RT_Stats, v1.43+, Grunt.
Scan directory of text files, showing first few lines of each file on frame [original intent to aid recovery of accidentally deleted text files from 10,000 possible recovered txt files].
Outputs list of Files with SearchWord found to DebugView, even when DEBUG=False
*/
EDIT:
You could also perhaps find use for this,
RT_FSelOpen(string "title"="Open",string "dir"="",string "filt",string "fn="",bool "multi"=false,bool "debug"=false)
Function to select EXISTING filename using GUI FileSelector.
Title = Title bar text.
Dir = Directory, "" = Current
Filt = Lots, eg "All Files (*.*)|*.*"
[Displayed text | wildcard] [| more pairs of Displayed text and wildcard, in pairs ONLY].
first one is default.
fn = Initially presented filename (if any).
multi = Multiply Select filenames. Allows selection of more than one filename at once.
debug = Send error info to DebugView window.
Returns
int, 0, user CANCELLED.
int, non zero is error (error sent to DebugView window).
String, Filename selected, Chr(10) separated multiline string if MULTI==true (and multiple files selected).
Example, to prompt for an AVI file and play it.
avi=RT_FSelOpen("I MUST have an AVI",filt="Avi files|*.avi")
Assert(avi.IsString,"RT_FSelOpen: Error="+String(avi))
AviSource(avi)
From the source code before it was included into RT_Stats, here:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1638307#post1638307
AVSValue __cdecl FSelOpen(AVSValue args, void* user_data, IScriptEnvironment* env) {
char * myName="FSelOpen: ";
const char * myFilter=
"All files (*.*)|*.*|"
"Avi Files (*.avi;*.XVid;*.DivX)|*.avi;*.XVid;*.DivX|"
"Mpg files (*.vob;*.mpg;*.mpeg;*.m1v;*.m2v;*.mpv;*.tp;*.ts;*.trp;*.m2t;*.m2ts;*.pva;*.vro)|*.vob;*.mpg;*.mpeg;*.m1v;"
"*.m2v;*.mpv;*.tp;*.ts;*.trp;*.m2t;*.m2ts;*.pva;*.vro|"
"Other Vid (*.mkv;*.Wmv;*.mp4;*.flv;*.ram;*.rm)|*.mkv;*.Wmv;*.mp4;*.flv;*.ram;*.rm|"
"Audio Files (*.mp3;*.mpa;*mp1;*.mp2;*.wav)|*.mp3;*.mpa;*mp1;*.mp2;*.wav|"
"Avs files (*.avs;*.avsi)|*.avs;*.avsi|"
"Text files (*.txt;*.log;*.asc)|*.txt;*.log;*.asc|"
"Image files (*.bmp;*.jpg;*.jpe;*.jpeg;*.png;*.tga;*.tif;*.gif;*.tiff)|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.jpe;*.jpeg;*.png;*.tga;*.tif;*.gif;*.tiff|"
"Bat files (*.bat)|*.bat|";
"Exe files (*.exe)|*.cmd";
Note the choice of wildcards allowed.
EDIT: For those that like to watch a movie and read scrolling text at the same time. Requires RT_Stats v1.20.
avi = FSelOpen("Select an AVI",Filt="*.AVI|*.AVI")
Assert(avi.IsString,"FSelOpen: Error="+String(avi))
AVISource(AVI)
txt = FSelOpen("Select a Text file",Filt="*.txt|*.txt")
Assert(txt.IsString,"FSelOpen: Error="+String(txt))
Txt=RT_ReadTxtFromFile(txt)
Return ScriptClip("""RT_Subtitle("%s",Txt,align=2,y=height+100-current_frame,expy=true)""") # Requires RT_Stats v1.20
Prompts for AVI file, then for a Txt file
EDIT: FSelOpen, will only allow selecting existing files. FSelSaveAs, prompts for Overwrite if existing selected.
The is also FSelFolder() which prompts for exising folder name. [perhaps I should allow it to return multiple folder names <as Chr(10) separated string>].
