Differences in result-set between everything gui in comparison to es.exe

Post by klim »

GUI search term: *.bak datemodified:"<lastmonth" X:|Z:|J:|Q: file:
CLI search term: es.exe -s X:^|Z:^|J:^|Q: /a-d -name "*.bak" datemodified:"<lastmonth" -path-column -sort path -export-txt result.txt

Both result-sets gives the same file amount of: 18141
But in the CLI resultset i do have a lot of empty lines.

Look at the following comparison. Sorry for anonymizing most of file names.
Left side is CLI result and right side is GUI resultset:

With those lines that are blank, anything peculiar with those particular file names (compared to the rest of the file names)?

(Unlikely I'd think, but) might it be Notepad++ that is having trouble interpreting those particular lines?

As in, if you piped your command line to grep (or FIND), es... | FIND "A068984", are any results returned.?)

Are those lines really empty or can you scroll to the left in the CLI results?

Anyway, this search should work:

Code: Select all

es.exe *.bak   dm:^<lastmonth   X:^|Z:^|J:^|Q:   file:

Thank you for the bug report klim,

There's a bug preventing filenames longer than 260 bytes from exporting.
For ASCII text this was fine.
However, for long non-ASCII filenames, each character will use several bytes and will reach this 260 byte limit quickly.

This bug should be fixed in ES 1.1.0.22.

Thank you very much for fixing this issue that fast. Your problem description about too short data types for non-ascii chars makes sense.
