regex in commandline mode not work

[hoangdiemtinh]

sorry for my bad english.

I run cmd:

"G:\grepWin-v2.0.15-2023-6-10\grepWin-2.0.15_portable.exe" /regex:yes /searchpath:"G:\set.txt" /searchfor:display_name="(.*?)" /replacewith:display_name="ok fine" /executereplace /nosavesettings /k:no /closedialog

Content in set.txt file: abc.display_name="a1 b1 c1" def.display_name="a2 b2 c2"

regex in commandline mode not work. regex in form mode is work.

please help for my case.

I corrected myself. display_name="\"ok fine\""

if you want to pass complex regex search strings via command line, you'll have to use the ini file approach because the command line get's parsed as commands. So: use the /searchini command.
