Angle Bracket in Command Line Parameter

Hello,
I'm trying to set up a toolbar item that has the following as the command line parameter:
Code: Select all
/A * %RightDir% > C:\Users\User\Desktop\list.csv
If I run it in the powershell it works fine and the output is written to the file, but in Free Commander it gives a invalid parameter error, I assume because of the bracket. I've tried enclosing the bracket in single and double quotes and escaping the bracket, but none of these work.
Code: Select all
/A * %RightDir% '>' C:\Users\David\Desktop\list.csv
/A * %RightDir% ">" C:\Users\David\Desktop\list.csv
/A * %RightDir% \> C:\Users\David\Desktop\list.csv
Is it possible for this to work in FC?
Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Could you provide more info?
I think you have defined "Favorite tool" item
https://freecommander.com/fchelpxe/en/D ... lbars.html
What have you defined for the fields: Program, Start folder, Parameters?

Hi Marek,
Thanks for the help.
Yes, a favourite tool. The command line parameter is as I posted in the first message. Here is a screenshot:
FileList is a CMD tool. If you need to test, you can get it here, it's free:

Thank you.

DOS (CMD) program can not be started this way.
First define the BAT file for starting, e.g. FileList.bat
Code: Select all
d:\Tools\FileList\FileList.exe /A * %1 > C:\aa\list.csv
Now define favorite tool as:
Name: FileList
Program or folder: D:\Tools\FileList\FileList.bat
Parameter: %RightDir%
Use your paths.

Hi Marek,
This no longer works, did something break?
