Not bringing Window to the Top

[zeenmakr]

Hi,

Everything statusbar display 'n objects' of the search result. I'm been using an external script to grab that to determine whether '0 objects' or '1 objects' is return ect...

The problem I'm having is that the Everything Window keep popping up for every search made. I have an array of hundreds of files that need to check routine if it is exists.

Everything time this code is executed, I can't do anything else on this machine because of the the constants popup. Could it be run in the background wihout activate the Everything Window?

I'm exploring es.exe option as well but this cmd window does popup too

Thanks

I think ES.exe is the better alternative (use the -get-result-count)
What program/script do you use to start ES / Everything? Maybe there is a mor elegant way.

Please try ES.

Or, try starting Everything minimized:

Everything.exe -minimized

Thanks -minimized work, initially didn't think of it as a hide func

For ES I was able to export the results to txt file but what about exported the -get-result-count

Works

Code: Select all

es.exe -name foo bar -export-txt results.txt

Does not work

Code: Select all

es.exe -get-result-count -name foo bar -export-txt results.txt

Does not work

Code: Select all

es.exe -get-result-count -name foo bar -export-txt results.txt

Code: Select all

es.exe -get-result-count foo bar

Will give you the number of files found matching your criteria.
That can be processed further with something like:

Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq" %%x in (`es.exe -get-result-count  foo bar`) do if %%x gtr 0 echo Files found (%%x)

But all will depend on how and where you want to integrate this.
