In the meantime, there is a workaround. If you save a search profile with the Query is RegEx option enabled, you can then do this from the command-line:

FileSeek.exe -l "profile name" -q "your regex query" -start ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-switches/?ID=94cffdf2-d682-4ca0-a986-1cba8b476fc1#4 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 13:00:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-switches/?ID=94cffdf2-d682-4ca0-a986-1cba8b476fc1#4 FileSeek What is the command line switch to indicate that the search string is a RegEx?

I'll be sure to post an update as soon as it's available to try out ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-switches/?ID=94cffdf2-d682-4ca0-a986-1cba8b476fc1 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:46:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-switches/?ID=94cffdf2-d682-4ca0-a986-1cba8b476fc1 FileSeek I am trying to complete a command line search and include the location of a directory along with query and start the search automatically. Is it possible to this? If so, can you also have switches to open the search strings within notepad ++ automatically?

currently I have... fileseek.exe "C:\tmp" ... that opens fileseek with the temp directory in the location but I cannot figure out the command line for the query as well as to do it automatically. Thanks! ]]>
