CotEditor has the following pre-formatted strings for the use of File Drop.
| Pre-formatted string | Will be replaced with |
|---|---|
| <<<ABSOLUTE-PATH>>> | The absolute path of the dropped file (i.e. source file). |
| <<<RELATIVE-PATH>>> | The relative path from your document to the dropped file. |
| <<<FILENAME>>> | The name of the dropped file with extension. |
| <<<FILENAME-NOSUFFIX>>> | The name of the dropped file without extension. |
| <<<FILEEXTENSION>>> | The file extension of the dropped file. |
| <<<FILEEXTENSION-LOWER>>> | The file extension of the dropped file (lowercase). |
| <<<FILEEXTENSION-UPPER>>> | The file extension of the dropped file (uppercase). |
| <<<DIRECTORY>>> | The directory of the dropped file. |
| <<<IMAGEWIDTH>>> | The image width (works only when you drop an image file). |
| <<<IMAGEHEIGHT>>> | The image height (works only when you drop an image file). |
Here are a few examples of what it's like to use pre-formatted strings.
| example 1) When you drop foo.html: | |
| Insertion format you set | <a href="<<<RELATIVE-PATH>>>"></a> |
|---|---|
| The string actually inserted | <a href="foo.html"></a> |
| example 2) When you drop foo.jpg: | |
| Insertion format you set | <img src="<<<FILENAME>>>" width="<<<IMAGEWIDTH>>>" height="<<<IMAGEHEIGHT>>>" /> |
| The string actually inserted | <img src="foo.jpg" width="160" height="80" /> |
