Custom File Search - Search for File Names |
|
This sub-tab allows to define a customized file search for file names / file name patterns.
Use Exclude Patterns |
Advises the program to use the list of excluded file name patterns. Files with a matching file name will be excluded from the search. |
Search Subfolders |
Advises the program to search not only the current folder but also all sub-folder of the current folder. |
The listbox, the text field and the two buttons manage the patterns for the customized file name search.
Add |
Adds the pattern entered into the text field to the list of search patterns. |
Remove |
Removes a selected pattern from the list of search patterns. |
WIldcards for pattern-building of file names:
* |
Replaces none or arbitrarily many alphanumeric characters |
? |
Replaces exactly one alphanumeric character |
Not only parts of file name are allow (e.g. *.doc), the patterns may also contain parts of directories (e.g. *\Windows\System32\*.exe or *\Temp\*.-old). To force the exact match (instead of a substring match) of a pattern, please put it in double quotes (e.g. "My Music").
To search for directories the "Directory" attribute in the Size / Attribute tab must be checked.
Like in all searches, you can move all files in the result list which are check-marked to the left of their file name, to a position in the file system that you may specify by using the Move Checked button.
