Hi,

Are there command line options available for FileSeek?

For example is it possible to launch the program with the Query as a command line parameter?

Thanks,

Another really useful option would be to have a 'search in results' option that would allow a 'burrowing-in' typ of search.
i.e. Searching within the set of files found to contain hits for one query for a different, subsequent query item.

Many Thanks!

I really like the new command line and filter within results features.

This great program now integrates very nicely with my preferred editor.

EditPlus - 'Other Application' parameters to pass: "$file$" -cursor $line$:1

All the options work great. The only thing I don't see is a way to auto start a search after you make the call. The Output Results to File does load FileSeek, starts a search, and outputs a file. But it closes when done. I need FileSeek to stay open after it does the search. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Keith, I just want to start a search from a command line, have the GUI open and run the search, then stay open.

Did this request get built into the latest release 3.2.0 Beta 2?

-start works great! Thank you!!

The -d command switch doesn't seem to work. It might be because part of my path contains a folder with spaces in it. I have tried this (this is out of a batch file with a parameter of what I'm searching for, thus the %1 in the -r part):

C:\"Program Files (x86)"\FileSeek\FileSeek.exe -d C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\Source\Designer\"Forms and Task" -f *.xml -r "cmd:.*?%1" -o C:\FileSeek\Lookup.csv -start

as well as this:

C:\"Program Files (x86)"\FileSeek\FileSeek.exe -d "C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\Source\Designer\Forms and Task" -f *.xml -r "cmd:.*?%1" -o C:\FileSeek\Lookup.csv -start

But neither work. I had to manually run FileSeek once forcing the path to be where I wanted it to be, then run the batch file the first way to get it to run. Of course, since the -d command doesn't seem to work anyway, the program works but only because I forced the path value.

Any Ideas?

I'm using FileSeek Pro 5.0.1 if that helps.

Thanks,
Paul

Ironically enough, you don't need the quotes around the FileSeek command . This is what I have there and it works fine:

C:\"Program Files (x86)"\FileSeek\FileSeek.exe

I tried your suggestion for the -d xxx and it doesn't work. I already stated that in my post. I've tried this:

-d C:\Users\xxx\Source\Designer\"Forms and Task"

and this:

-d "C:\Users\xxx\Source\Designer\Forms and Task"

Finally I have the correct combination of things. Both the fileseek command and the path have to be surrounded in double quotes. Then it works perfectly.

I must have been doing one or the other not in quotes at different times. Now it works fine.

Thanks for all your help.
