Dumb mistake. Thank you. Yes, without the superfluous double quote, it works. Your other suggestion works too. Curious: is there an addition that would make these sort by Date Modified descending? Also, is there an easy way to change the less-than date from yesterday to something like a week ago? As...

Good questions. But off-topic.

I have a copy of everything.exe in C:\Windows.
My batch file works with this: but not with this: Is there a better way?

This thread is updated at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12173&p=49868#p49868.

Bingo! That worked. Thank you!

A previous thread (https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10380) (sorry, not sure how to use URL tags here) seems to say I can get a list of filenames using regex:[^\x00-\x7f] . I think I was previously having success with this command in Windows: everything -search D: regex:[^\x00-\x7f] Bu...

Apparently no way to edit previous post. Correction: that last one should read:
everything -search regex:[^^\x00-\x7F]+
with a plus at the end as shown.

Not seeing any way to click SOLVED or Thank You. But thank you. That worked.

FYI, I stick a copy of a file like everything.exe into C:\Windows, and then I only need everything -search regex:[^^\x00-\x7F].

Cheers!

I have discovered the technique of entering regex:[^\x00-\x7F]+ in the GUI, to find filenames that contain non-ASCII characters. But how can I open the GUI, with that search, from a batch command? Running everything.exe or es with regex or -regex doesn't do it.

I have a filename: "Filename.xyz." I want to search for its occurrences on D: and display the results in the Everything GUI. So I enter this on the command line: es.exe -path: D:\ "Filename.xyz" That gives me the full path of the desired file. That output appears on the command l...

I have a filename. I have Everything.com and also es.exe. I want to run a command that will display a specific file in my usual Everything window. Simple command line variations on -filename are not producing the desired result. Could someone point me toward a webpage that provides syntax examples, ...

I am using Everything 1.4.1.935 x64 on Windows 10 Pro 1809. I search for *.wmv. A list of .wmv files appears, with an unfamiliar icon next to each. I double-click on one. I get an error: This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is...

Well, that's pretty impressive. You solved my problem, and you did it before I even had a chance to waste a whole lot of time on it. Thank you! I guess we are saying that there's nothing in Tools > Options to control this. I played with the seemingly relevant settings repeatedly, to no avail. Should...

I've been using Everything for years. I'm very happy with it. Suddenly, today, for some reason, partial filename search is not working anymore. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1709, not updated in the last several days. I type activ into the search bar, and it doesn't show files with "activity" o...

Sorry, I was thinking. Yes, that seems to have done it. Thank you!

I have been using Everything 1.3.4.686 x64 since it first came out. I usually use the portable version. I have it installed as well, and sometimes I try that. The problem here comes up in both portable and installed versions. The problem arises when I do a search and then choose File > Export. At th...

I must be doing it wrong. Here's what I got when I did that:

uh ... not sure how to add an image. But I didn't get that.

That value was 334. I changed it to 2134, saved, and then killed and restarted Everything. Tools > Options > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts for File | New Search Window Command displays Win+V. So that seems like a success. But I can't get it to appear in the New Window Hotkey box, and Win-V does not...

Yes, Winkey-E opens Explorer, and Winkey opens the Start Menu, as usual. So I don't get the "Key Disabled" message mentioned in that other post you've pointed to. It's not a gaming laptop (not very powerful); I don't see any gaming options in Control Panel > Keyboard, and "gaming"...

Hi -- I was using Winkey-V to open a new Everything window. In a moment of digital motor dysfunction (a/k/a fumblefingers), I hit some unknown magical key combination that seems to have screwed everything up. And I mean Everything. When I'm in Options > General > Keyboard > New window Hotkey, I get ...

Apparently newer location for command line options:

Since my search for "asterisk" turned up nothing, I thought I'd just mention that this particular thread provided the answer to my own quandary as to the proper use of the asterisk as a wild card. May also be of interest to those who question the question mark.
