Usage

rifiuti2 is designed to be portable (just download and use without need for installation), and runs on command line environment. Although utilities provide -h option for brief help message, it is suggested to consult Wiki page for full detail on all of the options; following are a few examples on how to use them:

  • rifiuti-vista.exe -x -z -o result.xml \case\S-1-2-3\

Scan for index files under \case\S-1-2-3\, adjust all deletion time for local time zone, and write XML output to result.xml

  • rifiuti -l CP932 -t "\n" INFO2

Assume INFO2 file is generated from Japanese Windows (codepage 932), and display each field line by line, instead of separated by tab

Download
