ALT-F7->Plugin Search: Directory not found?

[strohhalm]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this issue is really a bug, but I don't understand the reason for it:

I have file located in the following path:
d:\temp\example\folder1\folder2\file.txt

Now go to d:\temp\ and press ALT-F7, select Plugins-tab.

Enter
tc - path - contains - "example\folder1"
tc - directory - = - Yes
=> Start search
=> 1 directory found "d:\temp\example\folder1\folder2"

OK

Now enter
tc - path - contains - "example\folder1\folder2"
tc - directory - = - Yes
=> Start search
=> "no files found"



The directory is not found, if it is the last one in the current tree. Why?

Try tc.fullname instead

The tc.path is the path pointing to the specific file or directory.
d:\temp\example\folder1\folder2

OK, I understand the difference between tc.fullname and tc.path.

But tc.fullname does not work with the backslashes in "folder1\folder2".

How do I manage a search after "folder1\folder2" (if I don' t know whether "folder2" has any subdirectories or not)?

Sorry, my fault.

The correct definiton of tc.fullname is

I. if 'tc.ext" is empty:
tc.fullname := tc.name

II. if 'tc.ext' is not empty:
tc.fullname := tc.name+"."+tc.ext

If you want to search exactly for the directory "folder1\folder2\" you need something like

Code: Select all

   tc.directory [=] Yes
&& tc.fullname  [=] folder2
&& tc.path  [ends with] \folder1\

A small problem, because there is no [end with] operator.

Regex can help here:

Code: Select all

   tc.directory [=] Yes
&& tc.fullname  [=] folder2
&& tc.path [regex] (.*)\\folder1\\ 

or as alternative the plugin Filex

Code: Select all

   tc.directory [=] Yes
&& tc.fullname  [=] folder2
&& filex.ParentDir [=] folder1
