New version of RUN for EverythingSearch with Favorites

Post by drorharari »

For those of you who occasionally need to use the command line or who need to run program specifying command line options, there is a common annoyance that in many cases, the program is not on the system path so we need to open a command box, locate the program, change directory to where it is (or add it to the path) and only then we can run it.

RUN eliminates this annoyance with EverythingSearch's magic:

$ run *word mydoc.docx
Running: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\WINWORD.EXE:

$ run -l *word
1) CHOSEN: WINWORD.EXE [C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15]
2) FREEWORD.EXE [C:\Program Files (x86)\Freeware Inc]
3) CROSSWORD.EXE [C:\Program Files\Thoughtful Diversions]

$ run -3 *word level.txt
Running: C:\Program Files\Thoughtful Diversions\CROSSWORD.EXE:

$ run -3 -s *word level.txt
Saved favorite 'word' as: C:\Program Files\Thoughtful Diversions\CROSSWORD.EXE

$ run word level.txt
Running: C:\Program Files\Thoughtful Diversions\CROSSWORD.EXE:

The new version added the ability to save 'favorites' (the -s option).

The program (and sources) are available at GitHub: https://github.com/DrorHarari/run
