Simply run it without any parameters to see what parameters you can pass to it.\n\n`PathLengthCheckerGUI.exe` also supports the same command-line parameter syntax. Additionally, specifying the target directory alone as the only argument is supported and will begin a search on the supplied path using defaults. This is useful for launching the GUI application from other programs, such as a Windows Explorer context menu action.\n\n## Search Pattern\n\nThe `Search Pattern` parameter is used to match against specific file/directory names.\nIt is not case sensitive, and it supports the wildcards (`*`) for zero or more characters, and (`?`) for zero or one character.\n\nExamples:\n\n- `test.txt` matches only files named \"test.txt\".\n- `test` matches any directory named \"test\", as well as any files named \"test\" that do not have an extension.\n- `test*` matches any file or directory whose name begins with \"test\".\n- `*txt` matches any files with a \".txt\" extension, as well as any directory whose name ends in \"txt\".\n- `*test*` matches any file or directory that contains \"test\" anywhere in the name or extension.\n\nFor more information on the search pattern syntax, see [the official Microsoft documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directory.enumeratefilesystementries?view=net-5.0#System_IO_Directory_EnumerateFileSystemEntries_System_String_System_String_).\n\n## Running via PowerShell\n\nIf you are looking for a PowerShell equivalent of this tool, you can use [this PowerShell script](tools/GetPathLengths.ps1) that offers similar functionality.\n\n## Changelog\n\nSee what's changed in the application over time by viewing [the changelog](Changelog.md).\n\n## Donate\n\nBuy my dogs a new chew toy for providing this application open source and for free :)\n\n[![paypal](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif)](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick\u0026hosted_button_id=YVQNLE2GT4R7J)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdeadlydog%2FPathLengthChecker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdeadlydog%2FPathLengthChecker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdeadlydog%2FPathLengthChecker/lists"}
