Title: Controlling display / output of matches with TriD
Post by: jules43 on December 04, 2021, 12:18:07 PM

I would like to suppress most (or all) messages from TriD. There doesn't appear to be a "quiet" flag but the help shows:

-n:nn   Number of matches to show (default: 5)

When I add this to the command line it does not seem to have any affect, all the files processed are listed.

The readme seems to indicate the option is -r:nn so I've tried that too but with the same result.

I also tried both combined with -v and it does switch to verbose mode but doesn't limit the number shown.

I've tried -n:0  -n:2  -n:00 and it didn't seem to do what I was expecting.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Jules

Hi Jules!

Thanks for the heads-up! It's indeed "-r", the in-program help text is wrong (probably a remnant of an older/test version, and I never noticed).
But it has a lower limit of 1.

I'll make a remark to fix the help text for a next version, and will see about a quiet mode also.

Thanks again.
Bye!

Thanks

I just tested it with -r:1 and it didn't do what I expected. In fact it listed 6 files not the default (5) nor the 1 requested.

This was the command line:

C:\bin\trid "%TargetImageDir%\*." -ce -r:1

Output as follows:

The switch refer to the number of Results / matches shown when identifying files, like in:

Code: [Select]

c:\TrID>trid c:\windows\media\ringout.wav

Will keep in mind a quiet switch for a next version.
