Can variables be used from the command line function?

Post by wetware05 »

Hi.

Everything has the es.exe utility for searching from the command line. My question is does it accept variables and if so what is the syntax. I use such a utility from AutoHotkey, but I am forced to have a .bat file generated to bypass the limit of not being able to use variables inside such a function.

Please try enabling "Expand environment variables" and search for %VARIABLE-NAME%
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Search tab on the left.
  • Check Expand environment variables.
  • Click OK.
