File Search (ALT-F7) - Filter for "Only Directories" and "Only Files"

Post by *jnauth »

Hi Community,
I am looking for filter Syntax in the TC File Search (Alt-F7), where I can filter out only directories or only files.

Like with the DIR command:
dir /s /b /a-d --> lists all Files incl. all Subfolders, but no Foldernames
dir /s /b /ad --> lists all Foldernames and Subfoldernames, but no Filenames

Tried already some Filters according to the TC help, but couldnt get what I want and the TC Help doesnt offer here the parameters as the DIR command.

I know that I can achieve the filter with TC if I activate in the ADAVANCED section the ATTRIBUTES option and there the DIRECTORY option. But I thought there is possibly also a direct filder syntax I can use right away in the "Seach for" input field.

I also tested in the TC Main view with CTRL-F12 the option |* to show only directories and filtering out files. There it is working but when I use *.* | * in the File Search (ALT-F7), the filtering out with the pipe doesnt work.
Since TC offers that what I want via the ADVANCED Option Tab in the File Search, I thought there must be als a direct Syntax for the "Search for" input field

Thx for your help.

Regards,
jnauth

Your thought is not correct.
