I tried to search for 3 files in totalcmd, but it found many more.

exemple of search:

*Academicianul Ion Ababii biobibliografie*;*Aspecte de fiziologie a dintelui*;*Botnaru, Victor. Medicina internă Breviar 2008*;*

but totalCMD founds many more, such as 35 results, instead of 3

Not sure but it could be because of the trailing asterisk (after the last semi-colon). Are the semi-colons part of the filenames?

Try

Code: Select all

"*Academicianul Ion Ababii biobibliografie*" "*Aspecte de fiziologie a dintelui*" "*Botnaru, Victor. Medicina internă Breviar 2008*"

Yes, I try everything. Doesn't work !

The problem is that TotalCMD does not allow searches that contain empty spaces.

Which 3 filenames should be found?

[vascaraus]

I find the solution:

TotalCMD doesn't like empty spaces on search.

SOLUTION 1 ( put the * operator at the beginning and end of each word, and between words, without spaces.)

Code: Select all

*Academicianul*Ion*Ababii*biobibliografie*;*Aspecte*de*fiziologie*a*dintelui*;*Botnaru*V.*Medicina*Interna*Breviar*Modulul*Alergologie2019*;

SOLUTION 2, more simple:

Code: Select all

"*Academicianul Ion Ababii biobibliografie*";"*Aspecte de fiziologie a dintelui*";"*Botnaru*Medicina*Breviar*";

The problem is that TotalCMD does not allow searches that contain empty spaces.

Using the correct syntax, there is no problem.
TC will not find more than one space if you enter a protected string which only contains one space.
In this case, you need the * instead of one space or enter the correct number of spaces.
Windows Explorer is better in this case.

Using the TC Everything search option ev: or ed:
will find them without any protection, independent of the number of spaces.

What do you mean by "empty space"? Repeating white's question: Which filenames are supposed to be found?

These are the files:

Code: Select all

Academicianul Ion Ababii biobibliografie.pdf
Aspecte de fiziologie a dintelui.docx
Botnaru, Victor. Medicina internă Breviar 2008.doc

Searching for:

works fine here - please copy and paste the search string from the box here above and try

It is possible without * at the beginning of names:
"Academicianul Ion Ababii biobibliografie*" "Aspecte de fiziologie a dintelui*" "Botnaru, Victor. Medicina internă Breviar 2008*"
