Re: DirDiffVim for folders, but files are missed?

Thanks, I actually did use Meld, great GUI.

However, the sorting process needs digital automation.

Manually moving 1000's of files on several accounts is too slow and I haven't figured out how Meld could do that?

Since you are looking for a difference or resemblance in files and not
per se contence, I suggest using a command line tool like `diff` or a
graphical program like `meld`.

Both will provide you with differences and alikes in name, date, size,
etc.

Vim and vimdiff are for comaring text files, and you seem to need
something different.

Re: Function to find all matches in a string?

would set matches to

['aw', 'en', 'ip', 'uq']

I was able to cobble together a hack-job in this case, but I'd hoped
to be able to do something like

:let a=[] | g/#\w\+/call extend(a, findall(getline('.'), @/))

Does such a function exist and I just missed it?

Thanks!

[Retrying.. as my first attempt to post did not seem to go anywhere. Apologies if this is a repeat]

It looks like substitute() is the closest to what you want to achieve. Perhaps you can add submatch() to get the result appended to the list. Something like this in mind:

   :let a=[]|g/#\w\+/call substitute(getline('.'), @/, '\=extend(a, [submatch(0)])', 'g')

Re: Building a Reactive Library from Scratch in Vim 9 Script

Whatever happened to "as effective as possible with as little code as possible"? ;-D

(Yeah I know. I don't either. Type checking library, anybody? No bonus points for guessing which language I'm using!)

Re: DirDiffVim for folders, but files are missed?

Here's my plan for ProjectGooglePhotosCleanUpDownloads:

Process1: copying and pasting 241 (TakeoutAlbumYears/Google Photos/Photos from YYYY) +12 (TakeoutAlbumsMade/Google Photos/VariousNamedDirectoriesIMade) directories;
Process2: sorting duplicate files in a Main directory;
Process3: copying non duplicate files to a new directory TakeoutAlbumsMade/Google Photos/VariousNamedDirectoriesIMade/PhotosNotInAlbums.

Any suggestions on which software robably (Vim, Vimdiff or Vim-dirdiff) and commands to use please?

Hello,

I have Google Photos downloaded and I'm trying to sort out the mess of duplicates.

I usually use vimdiff for file content, however this needs files in directories compared.

Running command vim -c "DirDiff dir1 dir2" -> select Enter -> DirDiff.vim correctly shows folders only in dir1 and dir2.

However, I need dir1's files that aren't duplicates of dir2, to move into dir2.

How can I manage this please?
