this should be easy for regex pros.. i have this alias here to eject removable drives and i want the semi-colon to be added automatically after the drive letter. e.g. if i type "eject e" --> "eject e:"; "eject e f" --> "eject e: f:" (minus quotes).. can someone give me a hand.. smiley

RegEx Pattern: ^eject (.*)

EjectCD $$1 | "C:\Program Files\SysTools\EJECT.EXE" $$1

another type of alias that i'm looking for is to link a path with the keyword, say "games" then whenever i type "games <abc>", Farr will be searching <abc> in the path only.. something like the "cpanel" that is available right now..

For the first one...
[copy or print]
RegEx Pattern: ^eject (.*):?

EjectCD $$1 | "C:\Program Files\SysTools\EJECT.EXE" $$1:
(notice the ':' after '$$1')

As for the second part, see 'Keyword Modifiers' in the advanced section of the help file. Wink

actually jgpaiva's solution is basically correct -- you just need to update your alias result to SHOW YOU the : as well:

i.e. change
ejectCD $$1 | "C:\Program Files\SysTools\EJECT.EXE" $$1:

to
ejectCD $$1: | "C:\Program Files\SysTools\EJECT.EXE" $$1:


keep in mind this will not work on your example of "eject e f" since it will only add one : at the end of the f
but you could solve this by making another ejectcd alias which matches 2 drive letters and adds a : to both, but that would require a separate regular expression alias.

in this case, a better thing might be to launch a kind of batch file or script to invoke and do the replacement after the launch by this script. i urge people to use this kind of approach.

thanks for the explanation, mouser.. so, how do i go about the alias that matches two drive letters?

This one should work.. Wink
[copy or print]
RegEx Pattern: ^eject (.):? (.):?

EjectCD $$1: $$2: | "C:\Program Files\SysTools\EJECT.EXE" $$1: $$2:
(the ':?' is just so that you can still optionally put the ':' there)

[edit] corrected error with the pattern [/edit]
