I had to start a new 'Page 2': current maximum of 25 posts has been reached already.

BTW to read 'First' page: if oscillating click the main link: http://reboot.pro/in...showtopic=22781 and start reading from the beginning (better logout too).

Wonko: thanks!

 

With one exception the exFAT names I used in PBRVIEW.G4B v0.1 are exactly the same as on ntfs.com.

 

About the 16 chars: only exFAT has it's own routine with only ONE style (except colors). FAT12+16/FAT32 and NTFS start with a shared routine and have currently FOUR styles (with four colors).

I even managed to give exFAT more space in v0.2, exactly to display the 31 chars long name you mentioned in Post #25. Probably I was just lucky with the horizontal tabs in this case.

 

Your names/ classification FAT12+16/FAT32 and NTFS were closest to Microsoft's, with the 15 chars I mentioned in Post #3 (later without big problems extended to 16 chars. But I can give you more chars if you like, only I will have to write a variation with the column's of the PowerQuest style (which has a different classification in case of NTFS).

Naaah, it is simply not worth the hassle, though (I haven't looked at all at your script) personally in the past, in similar cases, I never trusted Tabs as they are (not only in grub4dos) a bit "quirky", maybe "padding" the labels with spaces  could be an option.

 

NOT needed in this case, but for future use something loosely like:

set mylabel=Pippo
set padding=.<imagine here 20 spaces>.
set mylabel=%Pippo%%padding:~1,20%
set mylabel=%mylabel:~0,20%
echo %mylabel%

Otherwise ECHOing at a given position (echo -P:xxyy)?

I agree, if I started again from scratch I would replace my 1334 horizontal tabs with something better.

 

Your 'padding'-lines look good, simpler than the sub-routine I used in my 'ATTRIB' script's to find 8+3 names in FAT-directory entries.

 

And indeed: 'echo -P:vvhh' is another possibility, i used this in other scripts. One problem is vertical (xx!) and horizontal (yy!) decimal values must have preceding zero's if <=9. So in such cases always extra lines needed to 'set v=0%v%'. But I believe recent changes solved this, IF using hexa-decimal values (no real experience yet).

 

Personally I would go for using 'call Fn.5 %h% %v%' to set fixed columns - which needs a separate sub-routine because the return values of call Fn.5 are not consistent*. But this one is quite simple and has no drawbacks, so can be used between echo-statements on one line:

:Fn.5
#-#+ Sub-routine to call Fn.5 - %~1=h, %~2=v
#-# Use: call :Fn.5 "%h%" "%v%"
call Fn.5 %~1 %~2
goto :eof

BTW the double-quote chars are not needed in this case, but give better 'sight' (to my already quite old eyes).
 

In certain lines of PBRVIEW.G4B I used this method already, if values can vary between one and more than seven chars.
