ES.EXE - don't display files in subdirectories?

Post by vefatica »

How do I tell ES.EXE that I want only files in the top-level directory?

I thought -p (match full path and file name) would do it but it seems that it's matching partial paths.

Code: Select all

v:\> es.exe -p v:\*.vbs
V:\ifiletime.vbs
V:\ifiletime2.vbs
V:\iheader.vbs
V:\hold\script.vbs
V:\hold\wmitest.vbs
So, a second question ... how, exactly, does -p work?

-p does a partial path search.

Please try the following ES search:

Code: Select all

es.exe parent:v: *.vbs
parent: will limit your results to a specific folder without searching subfolders.



Your v:\*.vbs search will work as expected in Everything 1.5 as * will no longer match \
