   Command Line

  /file=<fn>       filename mask (supports multiple expressions separated by ;)
                   ( you can also use exclusions e.g. *.txt;-term1 )

                   ( you can also use exclusions e.g. c:\temp;-term1 )
  /s               search in subdirectories (DEFAULT)

  /da=yyyy-mm-dd   file date is after <date> (date format: yyyy-mm-dd)

  /size_min=       minimum file size (K/M/G modifiers supported)
  /size_max=       maximum file size (K/M/G modifiers supported)
                   (size can contain one of the K/M/G modifiers,

  /contents=       find files containing the specified text
  /output=<fn>     write results to file <fn>
                   (if you also search file contents a 2nd file with content
                   results will also be created)

                   was used to load the search parameters)
  /exit            exit when search is done
  note: the "/" before the parameters is optional
  for regular expressions
    1. instead of /file use /file_regex
    2. instead of /contents use /contents_regex

  scanfs.exe path=c:\temp file=*.avi size_min=10m size_max=12m
  scanfs.exe /file=*.txt /path=c:\temp /s
     /da=2007-1-1 /db=2008-1-1 /dt=c /size_min=20m /size_max=30m /contents=123
