Can Everything search text inside text files? I have a text file with 3,200 lines, each containing an authors name and associated book title. Example: George Orwell 1984 H. G. Wells War of the Worlds Isaac Asimov I, Robot I also have a folder containing a dozen text lists of ebook filenames (Some of...

I ran this code on the actual file today: @echo off :: SETTINGS set FOLDER=c:\temp set ES=c:\tools\everything\ES.exe set INPUT=IN.txt set OUTPUT=OUT.txt ::ACTION (for /f "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims=|" %%x in ("%INPUT%") DO "%ES%" -path "%FOLDER%" "%%x - %...

Sorry, my bad, it was in "c:\tools\ES.exe" OUT.txt still looks different to you results, or did you edit the other stuff out? C:\temp>"c:\tools\everything\ES.exe" -path "c:\temp" "The Name - The Title" C:\temp\search here\The Name - The Title (blabla).txt C:\t...

Thanks. I repeated your steps using all the same code and filenames. C:\temp>set FOLDER=c:\temp C:\temp>set ES=c:\tools\everything\ES.exe C:\temp>set INPUT=IN.txt C:\temp>set OUTPUT=OUT.txt C:\temp>(for /F "tokens=1,2 delims=|" %x in (IN.txt) DO "c:\tools\everything\ES. exe" -pat...

I didn't realise there is a separate command line tool for Everything. With that installed I get: "The system cannot find the path specified. Press any key to continue . . ." It repeats that for as many lines as are on the list. I presume the "set FOLDER=c:\temp" part of your cod...

That fails with the error:
"Unable to open the list:C:\Users\-\Desktop\A Name - The Title is not a valid file list."

The list is partial filenames - There doesn't seem to be any wildcards in the code?

You spelt searchstrings wrong by the way.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. My knowledge of cmd line code is not too bad. I've tried using these 2 scripts: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38317670/batch-copy-files-from-a-list-of-partial-names https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17364141/batch-file-to-read-txt-file-with-file-names-then-search-f...

I want to search from a list of partial filenames and copy the matches to another folder. Can I do this with Everything from the command line? The list is bar delimited. Each line contains a name and a Title, for example: A Name|The Title The actual filenames have other stuff in them as well, but al...

Is it possible to search a folder and it's sub-folders for jpg images by their bit depth?

Thanks.

Thank you, that worked perfectly.

Hi, How can I find all the files that have been modified since a certain date, but only in a specified folder and it's sub-folders?
Thanks.
