Command line parameters are not being "honored" #472

Using the UI, I can search/replace just fine. I'm using regex for both.
I'm also using a "filemask" - VERY important aspect for what I'm trying to do as it needs to work across a large number of files.

When setting this up as "command line parameters" - it fails. Exact same thing with the UI works.

Instead of using /filemask:"*.whatever", I have tried eliminating that parameter and just specifying the full path with filename as the "/searchpath" parameter (no wildcard characters). I think this works but totally makes the /filemask parm useless.

I'm using v2.05.15.1232

What is the exact command line you're using? And then what do you expect and what actually happens? When I add /filemask:"*.txt" it works as expected for me.

This is some of the script from my "cmd" file that currently is working. set data_path=C:\Data\Excel "C:\Program Files\grepWin\grepWin.exe" /searchpath:"%data_path%\Yahoo-NG.tmp" /searchfor:"<td class=. data-symbol" /replacewith:"data-symbol" /executereplace /k:no /i:yes /n:no /nosavesettings /closedialog "C:\Program Files\grepWin\grepWin.exe" /searchpath:"%data_path%\Yahoo-CL.tmp" /searchfor:"<td class=. data-symbol" /replacewith:"data-symbol" /executereplace /k:no /i:yes /n:no /nosavesettings /closedialog "C:\Program Files\grepWin\grepWin.exe" /searchpath:"%data_path%\Yahoo-HO.tmp" /searchfor:"<td class=. data-symbol" /replacewith:"data-symbol" /executereplace /k:no /i:yes /n:no /nosavesettings /closedialog "C:\Program Files\grepWin\grepWin.exe" /searchpath:"%data_path%\Yahoo-RB.tmp" /searchfor:"<td class=. data-symbol" /replacewith:"data-symbol" /executereplace /k:no /i:yes /n:no /nosavesettings /closedialog

Originally, instead of the last 4 lines specifying the "search files" individually, I had used the "filemask" parameter (as shown below) but it failed from the command line. "C:\Program Files\grepWin\grepWin.exe" /searchpath:"%data_path%" /filemask:".tmp" /searchfor:"<td class=. data-symbol" /replacewith:"data-symbol" /executereplace /k:no /i:yes /n:no /nosavesettings /closedialog

If I go in and use the GUI, it would work.
