getting %number-files% from a spec folder ?

[ebola]

Hi

I have created a section called [generalinfo]. Here I can use symbols that are available in all sections. This is fine & working.

But now i want to include there (in section [generalinfo]) the symbol %number-files% from a special folder o HD. How is this done?

I don't understand what you are trying to achieve

[rejetto]

you get that symbol only when that folder is browsed.
but in the future, if an {.exec.} macro will be created, there will be a way.

Hi

Thx for your answer, rejetto

@Foggy :
This is for a project where HFS is used as a webserver displaying static websites - but some sites including additional, variable informations. Sure, PHP would be possible but I like bulletproof HFS with non-script-support for "exposed" things

had an idea.

if you make an external program/script that writes the information you need in a text file, then you can load it in HFS with {.load|that file with the info.txt.}

Hi

Yeah.
I already do this with various stuff. For example there is a dummy-html that is edited (filled with systeminfos like Systemuptime, free RAM, ...) by a external program. HFS copy's and fill's it with other things that are possible with macros + displays it after all.
