Dear All,

can you please help me again? I have a listbox with these lines:
DE HU 2017-11-16
GB ES 2017-11-21
PL FR 2017-11-19

how can i make a button if I want to arrange by ascending and descending dates?

Dudus:

There is no easy way to sort items within NeoBook.

However, if your items are already stored on a file on disk, you can make use of the sort command offered in DOS ... something like this ...

Code: Select all

Run "sort" "/+7 c:\gk\unsorted.txt /O c:\gk\ascending.txt" "RunOnce+Wait+Hidden" "" ""

Run "sort" " /R /+7 c:\gk\unsorted.txt /O c:\gk\descending.txt" "RunOnce+Wait+Hidden" "" ""

... then load the sorted output into the Listbox.

Note 1: if your items are not on a disk file, you can always Loop through the items in the ListBox and write them out to a temporary file

Note 2: as I found out, this command does not work with folder/file names that contain spaces

Note 3: if you are running on a machine with a version of Windows older than XP, there is a slightly different syntax for the sort command ... see this web page for details ... https://www.computerhope.com/sorthlp.htm

If ease is what you want, you can always hire someone to do your programming for you.

If you were to look at the functions, not just the demo app or the picture provided in the post, you would see that one of the functions is a sort. You don't even need to use the menuing option for that function. It is there for eye candy.

Read the full post. Download the function, look at the code that does the sorting (it is notated). It may be helpful.

Magnifico, años de jugar con DOS y primera vez veo a plenitud el poder de SORT.
Gracias

Magnifico, years of playing with DOS and the first time I fully see the power of SORT.
