Find files not working with . (dot)

[Laszlo]

So lets say there is a directory named "c:\aaa.bbb"

Open commands \ search (so find files, alt+f7)

search for: aaa - founds the directory

search for aaa. (with a dot) - no result

search for aaa.bbb - founds the directory

So searching for something ending with a dot not works in find files.

When the search string contains a dot, Total Commander will look for the exact name match.

So aaa. searches for files with name "aaa" and without extension.

[Horst.Epp]

TC assumes that aaa. is the name before an extension.
Try aaa.*. and it will be find.
Btw. ed: or ev: Everything search in TC finds aaa.
