Open path expression + slight typo?

(1/1)

tonyp:
I know this is basic stuff, but I was building a simple expression to open a folder on command like C:\misc files\ or F:\misc files\, etc.  Might be a good one to have built in some day, though you can use the "Run" alias with a bit more typing. For anyone else who wants it, use:

Name:
C:\ or whatever drive you know will be included

Regular expression pattern:
^([a-z]\:\\)(.*)

Results: (use two dollar signs, forum edits it out)
Open $1$2 | $1$2

Doesn't check for upper/lowercase, but doesn't seem to matter.

And am I mistaken or is there a slight error in that dialog?
"prefix descriptions with |"

The left side seems to be descriptions, and the right side commands... so | would prefix the command and not the description, wouldn't it?

mouser:
quite right - that instruction is confusing; ill make a note to change it.

nice alias by the way, ill add it to the default selection if you dont mind.

jgpaiva:
This is a high quality alias, definatelly should be featured in the default section!
Thanks tonyp!
Another good thing about it is that if you have the icons of the folders personalized, when you get the folder's name right, the icon switches to the icon of the folder!

Not at all, hope it's as useful to others as it is myself.
