I'm using Tasker and have a step of List Files. I grab that result and stuff it into %files. I then go into a For loop reading %files and under items %files(). However, this is giving me the full path to the files such as /storage/emulated/0/Tasker. All I'd really like is the file name. Is there a step I can do before I enter this loop to truncate the variable results?
Goal would be to just get a list of file names and not the full path.
You can use a Variable Split action with a splitter of / to get the pieces, then use %VAR(<) to get the filename. If the fact that the full filename is in an array already gives you problems, copy the array element into a non-array variable first.
From your comments, it sounds like you have this code:
List files Dir /storage/Tasker/project/test/ Variable %files match *.wav
For Variable %files Items %files()
Variable Split Name %files Splitter /
Popup Text %files(<)
End For
It's probably not a good idea to use %files as both the "Variable" and the "Items" portion of the For loop. Try using %file for the Variable, then replace all references to %files inside the loop with %file.
Please correct me if I've not captured your code correctly.
I just used the replace function but left the replace string blank. I chose to replace the directory path with nothing and that left me with an array of filenames.
