Options | |||
---|---|---|---|
Option | Param | Description | |
--no-wildcards | Disable wildcard parsing and use each filename exactly as specified. | ||
--in-order | Process the input files in order of the command line and don't delete duplicates. | ||
-i | --ignore | Ignore non existing source files without warning. | |
--load-prefix | file | Read in a PREFIX file and replace the internal prefix database with the content. https://ct.wiimm.de/export/prefix is the authoritative source for this. | |
--load-category | file | Read in a CATEGORY file and replace the internal category database with the content. https://ct.wiimm.de/export/category is the authoritative source for this. | |
--plus | chars | If a name begins with a plus sign, then all characters up to the first space are recognized as a plus prefix. The first part consists of all the plus signs followed by any other characters. The first character of the second part is used to determine the sort value. If the second part is empty, then the last plus sign is used instead.
The higher sorting value is now calculated from the number of plus signs in the first part, the more plus signs, the smaller the value. The first character from the second part determines the lower value. If it is in parameter CHARS then the position determines the value, otherwise the ASCII value to which 500 is added. |

--split | num | ||
--printf | format | Add an output line with a formatted string. | |
--sections | Dump info using configuration or section syntax. Use --var name as prefix. | ||
--sh | Dump info using SH syntax. Use --var name as prefix. | ||
--bash | Dump info using BASH syntax. Use --var name as prefix. | ||
--json | Dump info using JSON syntax. Options --var and --array are ignored. | ||
--php | Dump infos using PHP syntax. Use --var name as variable name of the resulting object. | ||
--makedoc | Dump infos using MakeDoc syntax. Use --var name as variable name of the resulting map. | ||
--var | varname | Use |
|
--array | Use an array on script output if possible. If arrays are not supported, then append a '_#' suffix with an zero based index to the variable name defined by --var name. In this case, only one output file is created. | ||
--avar | varname | Shortcut for: --array --var name | |
--case | case | ||
-d | --dest | path | Define a destination path (directory/file). The destination
The path may contain escape sequences:
A |
-D | --DEST | path | Like --dest, but create the directory path automatically. |
A string according to a format is created. The format string is composed of zero or more directives:
Usually a space is printed as separator before the output of the convertion specification, but only if this output is not empty, and at least 1 character is already copied to the output string, and the character before is not another space. Exceptions are convertions %D (_d) and %E (file extention), where no spaces is added by default. Flags and 0 override this default.
Flag characters | |
---|---|
Char | Description |
- | The string is to be left adjusted on the field boundary.This flag only makes sense if a field width is set. |
Force a space before the output string. | |
0 | Suppress an auto space before the output string. The space is automatically suppressed for the first field displayed. This also applies to the first field displayed after %|. |
! | Suppress parenthesis, brackets and additional text. |
( | If the string is not empty, enclose it by (...) and ignore flag !. |
{ | If the string is not empty, enclose it by {...} and ignore flag !. |
[ | If the string is not empty, enclose it by [...] and ignore flag !. |
< | If the string is not empty, enclose it by <...> and ignore flag !. |
+ | Only insert the string if the text up to this position is used more than once. See text below for more details. |
@ | If set, then print standard values too (e.g. 3 laps, speed factor 1.0). If set twice, then print the standard value for an unknown value. |
# | Enable color support. If set twice with an alias, then use more colors. |
A special feature is the flag +. At the first appearance in a convertion specification, the output string until the current position is stored in an internal list. If this string is unique, then the output of all convertion specifications with flag + are skipped. So for example format string %N%e%+v skips the version number for unique names.
Example: +A Boost: Tour GBA Rainbow {day} v2.1 (Authors) [1lap,x2] {Editors}_d.szs
String selectors | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Example | % | Color | Description |
Pipe sign | | | | | Print a single pipe sign as field separator and suppress the automatic space for the next displayed field. Flag characters, field width and precision are ignored. | |
Directory | ./a/ | y | Directory including trailing slash. | |
Full name | a.szs | Y | Complete source without directory. | |
Base name | * | F | Complete file name without path, _d and extention. | |
_d | _d | D | Empty or _d. By default, no additional space is inserted before the output. | |
Extention | .szs | E | File extention (file type) incuding the preceding point. By default, no additional space is inserted before the output. | |
Normalized | * | O | Normalized file name. | |
Plus Prefix | +A | P | BLUE2 | The plus prefix. It is a string that always begins with a plus sign and is always at the beginning. |
Boost Prefix | Boost: | b | RED3 | The boost prefix, something like Boost:. |
First Game Prefix | Tour | g | by prefix | The first part of a game prefix. |
Second Game Prefix | GBA | G | by prefix | The second part of a game prefix. |
Complete Game Prefix | Tour GBA | p | by prefix | The complete game prefix (first and second part). |
Track Name | Rainbow | n | The stripped track name without prefixes and additional info. Use alias %N for a name with all prefixes. | |
Extra info | day | e | BLUE1 | The extra info. {...} is scanned. By default output is enclosed by (...). |
Version | v2.1 | v | BLUE1 | The Version string |
Authors | Authors | a | List of authors. By default it is enclosed by (...). | |
Editors | Editor | d | List of editors. By default it is enclosed by (...). | |
Authors and Editors | a,b,,e,f | c | Combined list of authors and editors. Editors are prefixed by ,,. By default the result is enclosed by (...). | |
Attributes | 1lap,x2 | A | List of attributes. By default it is enclosed by [...]. | |
Lap Count | 1lap | l | BLUE1 | Print the lap count with respect to flag @. Suppress "laps" if flag ! is set. If the value is not known, an attempt is made to determine it from the attributes. |
Speed Factor | x2 | s | BLUE1 | Print the speed factor with respect to flag @. The leading × is suppressed, if flag ! is set. If a precision ≤0 is set, then it is used for the number of fraction digits. If the value is not known, an attempt is made to determine it from the attributes. |
Aliases are abbreviations of usal sequences of directives. The color flag (#) is used to select the replacement string. All other flags are ignored.
