Usage:

1)


$fileinfo(filepath, properties [,separator])[.raw]


Will retrieve information about a file. The possible properties are listed further below.


2)


$findfileinfo( initialize, properties [, seperator])[.raw]

$findfileinfo(<filepath>)

$findfileinfo(quit)


Findfileinfo is specifically designed to be used when you want to retrieve properties about files from a large collection. For example if you want to retrieve audio properties from your audio folder, which may contain hundreds or thousands of file, then $findfileinfo will be better suited than fileinfo.


You first initialize findfileinfo by specifying as first parameter the word "initialize" and as second parameters the properties that you will retrieve from each file in the collection. Once you are done with retrieving the info, you can use "initialize" again to set new properties or you can quit by specifying the keyword "quit". Let's make an example:


$findfileinfo(initialize, Artist Title Genre Duration Bitrate Audiosamplerate)

!.echo -q $findfile(d:\my audio\,*,0,aline @info $findfileinfo($1-))

$findfileinfo(quit)


3)


/listtags


This alias will list all available properties that you can use on your system. These properties will be in the language of your OS, but you must always use the English properties that you see right under this.



Properties:


Audio/video: Title Artist Author AlbumTitle Year TrackNumber Genre Duration BitRate Audiosamplesize Audiosamplerate Channels Protected Copyright EpisodeName Comments



Pictures: CameraModel DatePictureTaken Dimensions


Executables: ProgramDescription Company Description FileVersion ProductName ProductVersio


Misc: Attributes Status Owner Subject Category Pages


Common: Name Size Type DateModified DateCreated DateAccessed



Purpose: Returns up to 37 characteristics of any file. For example version information of .exe files, audio information of .wma/.mp3 files, etc. This uses Windows to retrieve the properties, which are the same when you right click a column label in Windows Explorer to specify which attributes from a file you want to see as default.



Info:


- Filepath must be the complete filepath, even when the file resides in the mIRC folder.


- Empty values for categories are filled with a zero.


- If you specify a third parameter, this will be used as a separator between the attributes. The default is a line feed $lf, which you can parse with $gettok(...,N,10) or //tokenize 10 $fileinfo(...)


- There are two ways of outputting the result.


(1) Default : "Propertyname: value <separator> ..."


(2) Raw : "value <seperator> ..."


The .raw property was added to give scripters more freedom in deciding the format of output.



Installment: The snippets go into the remote section because of their alias prefix. Alt+r -> tab "Remote" -> Paste there. You can also put it in the aliases section, provided you remove the alias prefix.


Requirements:


$fileinfo and $findfileinfo: mIRC 5.91, Windows ME or higher


/listtags: mIRC 6.14, all OS'es



Notes:


The info on executables is only available on XP+SP2. As for the rest, most of them should be available on the OS'es specified in the requirements.



Improperly tagged files, will obviously return improper info. Meaning if e.g. the albumtitle attribute wasn't filled in the audiofile, then the snippet will not be able to retrieve it evidently.



Examples:


$fileinfo(d:\audio\song.wma,Artist Title Genre Duration Bitrate Audiosamplerate,**)


$fileinfo($mircexe,Company Productname Productversion Fileversion Type Name)


$fileinfo(c:\pics\mypic.jpg,Dimensions Datepicturetaken,-=-).raw
