How do I search for " in a file's content?

[Jon]

Hi,
I am new to Everything, it's a great tool. But I got stuck when I tried to search for the string Version":7 in a file. I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

This is the actual search string:

Code: Select all

"path/to/files/here" *.lvl utf8content:Version":7

This is not working. This is working, of course:

Code: Select all

"path/to/files/here" *.lvl utf8content:Version

-This finds every file containing the word Version.

It's json. I need to find all files containing Version":7, like this:

Code: Select all

{"Width":16,"Depth":16,"Height":4,"Version":7,"Floo....

How do I write a working search phrase for this?

Thank's for any help!

Everything uses quotes to escape literal text.

Please try the following search:

utf8content:Version""quot::7

Searching for a quote in Everything 1.4 is clunky.
Use quot: to search for a literal quote.
However, you'll need to use "" to break the text parser so it picks up quot: (otherwise quot: is treated as literal)

The following will also work:

utf8content:"Version"quot:":7"




With Everything 1.5 it will be a little easier:

utf8content:Version&quot::7
