ES cli tool does not seem to work with "path-list:" function

[Ralf_Reddings]

Code: Select all

ES path-list:"c:\my folder" 
ES "path-list:""c:\my folder"""

Either of the above lines, return nothing, while

path-list:"c:\my folder"

in the GUI it works fine.

ES

will only return some result if the path does not have any spaces, such as

ES path-list:"c:\MyFolder"

. Of course, I intend to use more than one path. Its just that paths with spaces are giving me issues.

I am on the latest beta

Enclose each fullpath part in quotes [if need be] (& separated by semicolon) [if more then one path is given].

es path-list:"c:\tmp\bru";"c:\out\m m"

So do you have a

c:\my folder

directory?
(I'm thinking your example should work.)


Is ES working with Everything 1.5a (rather then 1.4 which does not have path-list:)?
Do you have both 1.5a & 1.4 installed? If so, if the above is the case, then you'll need the -instance 1.5a in your search.

ES -instance 1.5a path-list:"c:\my folder"

(I'll note that path-list: does not accept forward slashes, /, as path separator.)

Results will depend on the shell that is being used.

This works in Command Prompt (CMD):

Code: Select all

ES.exe   path-list:"c:\program files";c:\windows

This works in PowerShell:

Code: Select all

ES.exe   'pathlist:"c:\program files";c:\windows'

(note the single quotes in 'pathlist:a;b' )

Am on PowerShell and that did it!
Thanks you to both of you, you guys are so helpfull!
