I'm trying to make the macro `gbfn:5` to dupe together files that have the same first 5 letters of their name.
Here is my attempt: `gbf:` defined as
Based on a simpler parameterless macro I use that does work: `column1:=regex_extract($stem:,"^..") column1: dupe:column1 groupcolors:`
My experience with macros based on creating columns is that they're quite moody, they can work one second and then not work the second after. If a solution avoided it, that'd probably be better.
Any help is appreciated.
