command line options: combine -s and -create-file-list?

[jimspoon]

Just experimenting, I tried this command in admin-mode powershell (with everything64.exe in my Path):

PS C:\> everything64 -s ext:pdf -create-file-list pdffiles.efu

No .efu was generated. I guess the -create-file-list use the search results of the -s option as the files to go into the named .efu file? From what I see the files to be included in the efu can only be limited by path specification and filename wildcards?

The following worked:

PS C:\> es ext:pdf -instance "1.5a" -export-efu pdffiles.efu

I'm just curious if everything64.exe command line options can produce the same result.

[void]

PS C:\> everything64 -s ext:pdf -create-file-list pdffiles.efu

The -s command line option is ignored when using -create-file-list.
There is a missing parameter here:
-create-file-list <efu-filename> <path-to-scan>

Example usage:

-create-file-list pdffiles.efu c: -create-file-list-include-only-files *.pdf

-create-file-list


-create-file-list is designed for making a complete index of the specified path.
-create-file-list will scan the specified path on disk (not from your index)

Use ES to create an EFU file list from your index.
-or-
File -> Export your file list from the Everything GUI.

Thanks! I understand now.
