Updated first post: Version 1.5.1 is available.

Code: Select all

Version 1.5.1
 - Important change: The name "Google like Quicksearch" changed to "QuickSearch eXtended".
 - Clean up the first post, so that the user will more likely read the readme. ;-) (Full history is now only available in readme.)
 - Change: Default value of "wdx_separator_char" is now "/" instead of "\". The backslash prevented to use the RegEx search.
 - Fixed: Filtering files in FTP mode is possible again. (broken in Version 1.5)
 - Disabled wdx and "filter_files_and_folders" for network drives, FTP and inside of zip files.
 - Some readme cleanup and redesign.
Thanks to all who helped finding a new name.

In the readme I miss some information about how to uninstall easily. I just tried it out (and came to the conclusion that it is not suitable for me, because I need matching beginning) but didnt know how to uninstall it again after my test.

//edit: I found out that I just have to delete the three tcmatch-files when tc is not running.

There are several ways to use match at beginning:

1) just write an "^" in front of the search string.

To make it default:
2) In the "tcmatch.ini" set "match_beginning=1" (to use match beginning by default)

3) In the "tcmatch.ini" set "simple_search_activate_char=~" and "simple_search_match_beginning_activate_char=" (to use match beginning only in simple search by default)

To uninstall:
Just remove "tcmatch.*" from the directory where you installed it in. If there are problems to delete "tcmatch.dll" just restart TC and do not use QuickSearch before deleting the file. I will add an uninstall info in next version.

In the update form there is only a field: "Filesize". But there are no units. So I assumed Bytes are used.

Just small note: your DLL works f* great!

I am using it together with my own tags (within comments) and I can't simply believe how easy it got thanks to the wdx_groups=|1 hack. The only disadvantage I found was to write my own WDX for reading comments only but it was just a small issue.

Once again: thank you.

Your welcome. You are one of my big helpers for providing a very useful and complete featurelist.

BTW: "FileDesc.wdx" can read comments from Descript.ion files.

I know about FileDesc.wdx but this is still mystery to me how to configure its columns properly. I've wanted to have descript.ion comments only in one column and the rest elsewhere.

Of course, I could use it in separate directory and configure from there but sometimes the simplest solutions are the hardest to fins so I gave up and wrote my own WDX for this.

2fenix_productions,

I'd be curious to see the wdx you wrote. ;)
chmod a+x /bin/laden -- Allows anyone the permission to execute /bin/laden

How do I un-overwrite all my data?

I did not test it for a long time (written today) but I don't expect bigger problems for it:
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/TC/CommentsWDX.zip

Please be aware that I wrote it without totalcmd.net in mind and I don't think I will post it there (it's too simple for that IMHO).

Search for: “!.pdf”
Find: cat.bmp
Find not: cat.pdf

This does not work.
Actually, negate search won't work when match_beginning=1.

I also mentioned this. Good job.

Its not a bug. The examples are written for the default values in "tcmatch.ini". The "!" before the search string just negates the result. All excluded files are included and vice versa.

If you search for ".pdf" (match_beginning=1) you will not find "cat.pdf", because it doesn't start with a ".". So "!.pdf" will find "cat.pdf".

You can search for: " .pdf" to find "cat.pdf" and "! .pdf" will not find "cat.pdf".
