Bit depending on your situation, but in large steps (details when needed):
Scenario 1 (Simple): Use command-line tool ES.exe
- Setup an ETP server
- Download ES.exe from here.
- Setup an Everything client to automatically connect to this ETP Server.
- Let this client run at startup/logon (parameter -startup) and let it run in the background (ES.exe 'talks' to this client to get it's information).
Let's say the QR scan code gives you documentID
ABC123
In - for example - PowerShell you now execute (using ABC123 as a parameter):
Code: Select all
start ("c:\path to\es.exe" ABC123 )[0]
That will run/execute the first result.
( I would advice some extra checks, like:
$Results=("c:\path to\es.exe" ABC123 )
and check if $Results[1] is empty ànd that $Results[0] exists before running
)
You can also limit the number of result to - let's say 5 - with ES.exe's parameter
-n 5
Scenario 2 : Use the Everything SDK
Using the SDK, you can write your own program to communicate with a running Everything client.
I'm not a developer so can't help you in detail, but there are examples in the SDK for multiple programming languages.
- Setup an ETP server
- Setup an Everything client to automatically connect to this ETP Server.
- Create a program that talks to this Everything client and handles the results (from what I heard that should not be very hard and there is always support here on the forums)
If you need more detail, just ask.
Good luck!
Some notes:
- If needed, you can run this ETP client next to your regular Everything client
- For your case, it would be useful if you could talk to the ETP Server directly using the Everything SDK. But I don't think that's (technically) possible.
