Search .. then Export to txt via Command Line

[DJ.LJ]

Hello!

I am trying to find a way to search then export via command line.

Here is my command line I am using now to search

C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -s "search term|search term2"

I then have to click file -- export

I would like to do that search and specify where it gets saved all within the command line without clicking anything.

Thanks!

Perhaps, How to export search result by command line automatically?

[DJ.LJ]

Yes.. I saw that and I don't really get it. I tried and it did not work for me.

What means "did not work for me" ?
What are you doing (step by step) and what are the errors ?

I guess what I am saying is... I don't know how to do it.

Could you give me an example using the command line that I am currently using? Using multiple search terms?

Thank you.

Ok.. I figured out the basic command.

es.exe -s "bottoms up" > test.txt

This will search one term "bottoms up"

How would I search multiple terms at once? like...

bottoms up
no scrubs
cat daddy

In the full app I just put a | in between each term.

Also.. How do I limit to only search certain drives and filetypes? Maybe using filters like I do now? How would I call that using es.exe?

Are these the only commands available?

Code: Select all

    -r Search the database using a basic POSIX regular expression.
    -i Does a case sensitive search.
    -w Does a whole word search.
    -p Does a full path search.
    -h --help Display this help.
    -n <num> Limit the amount of results shown to <num>.
    -s Sort by full path.

thank you!

Ok.. figured out the search only certain drives. You just select them in the main app.

[DJ.LJ]

I did it!

es.exe -r (bottoms.up.*mp(3^|4)^|no.scrubs.*mp(3^|4)^|cat.daddy.*mp(3^|4)) > test.txt

Hopefully this helps someone else out.

-r .. just use regex and tie it all together.

> certain drives

es.exe c: bottoms up

> filetypes

es.exe c: bottoms up ext:zip;rar

> multiple terms

Oh, not sure about that?
Though if nothing else you could run two separate command; either on one line or two.

es.exe c: bottoms up
es.exe c: no scrubs

or

es.exe c: bottoms up && es.exe c: no scrubs

If you didn't want to search for "twin cheeks", you could search for one cheek, duplicated .

es.exe cheek dupe:

Surprised that (Windows) CMD doesn't fart with the command line causing unwanted interactions.
