Select files in Destination that START with the filenames in Source

Would a simple script be ok? :wink:

function OnClick(clickData) {
    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    var tab = clickData.func.sourcetab;
    var dtab = clickData.func.desttab;

    cmd.deselect = false;
    cmd.SetSourceTab(dtab);
    
    cmd.RunCommand('Select NONE');
    
    for (var e = new Enumerator(tab.files); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
        var item = e.item();
        cmd.RunCommand('Select PATTERN="' + item.name_stem + '*.*"');
    }
    
    cmd.RunCommand('Select INVERT');
    cmd.RunCommand('Select SHOWFOCUS');
    cmd.RunCommand('Set SOURCE=toggle');
}
