File search dialog does not allow Regex with Unicode

[nemadeka]

I have a lot of Unicode text files among which I need to find
the ones containing "Directive" and "low voltage", which are
not necessarily together.

So, I go Alt+F7, Alt+T...

I discovered that checking the Regex box unchecks Unicode
and I cannot search.
I do not think it is intended. If it is, why? My example shows
that there are cases when you must search Unicode text using
regex.

Hello !

• Which version of TC are you talking of ? Here with TC 7.5… both boxes can be ticked together…

Clo,
Are you sure you are talking about the text search options?

2nemadeka • Wich version of TC are you talking of ? Here with TC 7.5… both boxes can be ticked together…

I have 7.50a
Here is a screenshot.

The marked check boxes behave as radio buttons.

Am I right thinking that I cannot add attachments here?

You are right.

Hi Roman !

• I mean the Search function from the command cm_SearchFor, it's that I understood…

- I sent you the screen shot via e-mail (FTP broken here, sorry).

There are two RegEx checkboxes in that dialog - it is the one marked "RegEx (2)" at the lower right bottom that can not be selected together with the "Unicode" box.

Hi Peter !

• Ah ! Right for this one !
- However, that isn't specified in the start message here, how do I guess ?

• Well, this behaviour seems intentional, but if so I would prefer unambiguous radio buttons instead of tick-boxes…

This is *not* useful, because the 1-rst RegEx concerns the file name and the other RegEx is about file contents.

Searching for text in Unicode files is currently impossible with regex, and unicode txt files and documents comprise the bulk of any translator's corpus of documents.

I hope I was clear enough.

Indeed that combination is currently not supported, sorry.
