naming an alias

Hi, not sure what I am doing wrong for naming an alias

This works to launch Android Messenger as a new window:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"  --app=https://messages.google.com/web/conversations /ICON=C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed\Core_Aliases\icons\Messages Android 32.ico

Adding "Messages | " in the beginning results in nothing launching
Messages | "C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe"  --app=https://messages.google.com/web/conversations /ICON=C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed\Core_Aliases\icons\Messages Android 32.ico

(I did create a custom icon "Messages Android 32.ico" and added it to the Core_Aliases\icons folder)

How can I get "Messages" to display when I type the alias "m"?

Any insight would be appreciated, thx :-)

Does it work if you remove the quote marks around the path to brave.exe ?

--- ---Messages | C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe --app=https://messages.google.com/web/conversations /ICON=C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed\Core_Aliases\icons\Messages Android 32.ico

kireta:
Yes! Thank you  :)

This works:

Messages | C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe  --app=https://messages.google.com/web/conversations /ICON=C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed\Core_Aliases\icons\Messages Android 32.ico

Glad to help.

Question to Mouser concerning this:
Is the issue with quotes around the file path in Results a bug regression? Compare to
https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/findrun/help/index.html?version_history.htm
Version 2.224.01 Beta - May 6, 2015
[BugFix] Fixed issue where double quotes in alias results were causing failure to launch result and bad icons.
--- End quote ---

Example alias to showcase the issue
Alias Name

--- ---testingRegEx

--- ---^(te|tes|test)$
Results

--- ---test1 | C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
test2 | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
test3 | C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe https://donationcoder.com
test4 | "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" https://donationcoder.com

In FARR v2.234 and Windows 10 I see these effects
- Test1-3 launches Firefox, in the case of test3 the site is opened correctly. Test4 does nothing.
- Test1 and 3 show the Firefox icon, 2 and 4 shows no icon (I tested in both small and big icon mode).

mouser:
Sure seems like a bug.. Since I'm working on FARR now I will try to fix now..
Thank you so much for the clear examples and tests.. It makes my life much easier!  :up:
