I am trying to complete a command line search and include the location of a directory along with query and start the search automatically. Is it possible to this? If so, can you also have switches to open the search strings within notepad ++ automatically?

currently I have... fileseek.exe "C:\tmp" ... that opens fileseek with the temp directory in the location but I cannot figure out the command line for the query as well as to do it automatically. Thanks!

It's not currently possible, but should be coming in the next version of FileSeek. I'll be sure to post an update as soon as it's available to try out

FileSeek 3.0 Beta 1 (http://www.fileseek.ca/Download/Beta/) is now available, and now has more command line parameters. You can find the details here: http://www.fileseek.ca/FAQ/#commandline

Thanks!

What is the command line switch to indicate that the search string is a RegEx?

Thanks,
Chris

There actually isn't one, but we've added that to our list for the next version. In the meantime, there is a workaround. If you save a search profile with the Query is RegEx option enabled, you can then do this from the command-line:

FileSeek.exe -l "profile name" -q "your regex query" -start

We've just released FileSeek 4.4, and you can now use -r "regex query" to do a RegEx search from the command line
