How search files excluding specific text?

[thanos12]

Hello I have many html files called for example 2134.html and 2134_en.html. How can I search ONLY all my html files containing the word "en" ?
Thanks

Enter in the field Find text:
your search
or if the text should not be there:
!your search

You have used the negation, so it searche for files NOT containing en.
Remove the !

Sorry my mistake for NOT containg text
you have to set the option "Find files NOT containing the text"
and not using !

Find Files
Search for: *.html

Tab "Plugins":
[x] Search in plugins

Code: Select all

Plugin	Property	OP		Value
---------------------------------------------
tc	name		contains	en

Or just:

Search for: *en*.html

In this case *_en.html should be better, I think.
But the problem isn't defined clearly enough to me. Maybe the OP wants to find all html files, which contain links to *_en.html files in HTML code.

Well, thanos12 asked

How can I search ONLY all my html files containing the word "en" ?

indicating that "en" could be anywhere in the file name. And Search for: *en*.html includes *en.html

As I have already stated, the problem isn't defined clearly enough to me. There is another pattern present in provided sample filenames.
