[Digikam-users] Not completely but a bit off topic question: looking for texteditor with macro capabillity

[Photonoxx]

My Answer is may be a little off topic too, but you probably could use  
spreadsheet to do that...

I explain (this works with libreoffice calc and gedit as texteditor) :

- You have your list in a text editor with one row per file.
- Select all, copy and paste this in a spreadsheet. You should have a  
dialog appearing to customize import of text info in a spreadsheet (for  
example create column when there's a "\"). With no option modifying, your  
list create one column with your list inside and one row per file.
- Copy paste this column, and search and replace what you want in this  
second one (for example, replace "d:\" by "o:\")
- insert a new column at start, and fill it with your prefix (here "move").
- Select cells of your three column, copy and paste theirs to your text  
editor.
- optionally, replace tabulation by space.

You have your modified list which can be used as a batch file.
