Problems making es.exe work for me

Post by Randy31416 »

I can't get es.exe to give me a sorted list of files on a disk. I've tried may combinaitons of options. The following is a sample of the problem.

The command string: "E:\Net Tools\File Everything\es.exe" -size -dc -dm -full-path-and-name -sort path-ascending -size-width 12 g:\*.* >h:\junk.txt

An extracted sample of the output:

Code: Select all

Folders and files are sorted separately.
Folders are shown first.

Sorting by path will sort by the path part first, then by name.

Please try sorting by full path with
-sort full-path
