Maybe it was the same in the previous version. I did not look for any Greek file names until now. The thing is, I pasted the newer version over it and now I cannot diff them. :-) I you still have yesterday's version, I can check for you.

Nope, I don't have it anymore (that version was not yet under version control), but if you didn't try that with Greek file names then I assume the result would be the same.

Locate32 finds both. So does locate.ahk when I look for aaa txt, but it displays the a circumflex as a Greek beta [β] :?

I have no idea why this is. Maybe you should post a question in the Help section to find out if there are issues with ListView and international characters. (I don't know why it works in 320mph.)

Does the window disappear if you simply type something without pressing Enter?

Only when I press Enter, script exits. While I type nothing happens...

Is the path to locate32 set properly? Does it work from the command line?

Ok, it works... it seems somtimes redirection finish as an empty file in TEMP dir but other then that it works...


Just one question. Why did you execute serries of locate runs for eatch folder?

Code:
search_for_pattern(pattern, UserProfile . "\Recent", now)
search_for_pattern(pattern, a_startmenu, now)
search_for_pattern(pattern, a_startmenucommon, now)
search_for_pattern(pattern, "")


Why don't u execute everything at once using multple -p parameters in the manner :

Code:
search_for_pattern( pattern, dir1 | dir2 | ... dirN, now)


and construct command with -p dir1 -p dir2 ....

I imagine you put it as last folder will be searched the longest, so you wanted to have resultas from common places ASAP. If so, are you sure that multiple locate executions per pattern are faster then single with directory array?

EDIT: Well, I tried searching evrything at once at it does the things faster here. This changes application as it will have different order of search results though...

Just a guess:

Since it does display Greek characters (instead of aaaâ.txt, which is a Unicode filename in my setup, it shows aaaβ.txt), and since I've never seen anything similar with AHK and Greek filenames, maybe it is something in the way the results pass from Locate32 to locate.ahk...

I simply didn't know -p can be given multiple times for locate. Thanks, I'll look into it.

No, I put it last, so that those results come after the common ones.

Well, the order of search results is an important feature, so if it cannot be guaranted with a single search then the slight performance gain doesn't justify the changes you suggest.

Currently, the results are redirected into a file and read from it when the search is finished. Maybe you could check the output file (%A_Temp%\loc.out) if the characters are correct there.

If not then you can try replacing the file redirection with CmdRet (I think that's the name of the function which avoids using temporary files) in the script and see if it helps.

Maybe it displayas result in the order of folders that are set.... Anyway, U can take all common folders in one shot, then everything after, it will still be faster then 4 calls.

OK. I checked loc.out, and the characters are not correct there either.

I would try CmdRet, but I don't understand how to use it. :-( (I think this stuff is over my head...)

Okay, then apply these changes (and of course add the CmdRet function too) and let me know if it helped.

Note that it's a quick hack, so there will be errors in the search results, but if it works for you then I'll implement it properly.
Code:
 ; comment out these two lines and add the third after them
 ;  RunWait, %comspec% /c ""%LOCATE_PATH%" %LOCATE_OPTIONS% %directory% %pattern% > "%output_file%"",, Hide UserErrorLevel

 ; FileRead, Contents, %output_file%
  Contents := CMDret_RunReturn(comspec . " /c """ . LOCATE_PATH . """ " . LOCATE_OPTIONS . " " . directory . " " . pattern)

Still question marks ! :-)

I hope I used the correct CmdRet function, the one by corrupt here.

  • Fixed filtering of duplicate files out of search results.
  • Directory-constrained searches are done in one step to avoid running locate multiple times. (Thanks majkinetor)

Then I'm officially out of ideas. You have to look for someone smarter than me to solve the problem. :D

A more reliable way to find out Total Commander's path is to use the %COMMANDER_PATH% variable.
