Feature request : Operator AND in "Find text"

[pgriffet]

I was hoping that the regex option would provide the AND operator for the "find text" in "Find files".
But I'm disappointed, we only have the OR (with the | character).
I know, I can search for a word in a folder and then, "Feed to listbox" and a search on another word but it would be easier to search for 2 strings in one pass.
I don't know if it's a regex limitation but if it's the case, then an option in the standard box providing two search strings would be great.
Sorry if somebody has already asked for such a feature.

Did I miss something ?

AFAIK the pipe is not part of RegEx but means NOT ...

Hello!
Though I know "nuts" at programming, following the Help at RegEx topic under Alternatives, the Ch. Ghisler's explanation lets to think that it's alright a logic "OR" function...

2Clo: Yes, you are right, there are 2 different meanings of the pipe.

Within () it means OR (RegEx enabled), but does it still have the NOT operator outside () ?

Hello, bonsoir!
- I found a help file in French about RegEx (from the original DLL-author)
Available at:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/charries/relais/regexpf.zip
I didn't check it yet, but maybe there are infos to know why that AND function is actually missing in TC?

Merci Claude, I will check it.

Actually, there is nothing about a AND option in the regexp documentation so, Christian has to write code to implement it.

sqa_wizard,

Maybe ^(Don'tFindMe) is NOT?


Clo,

AND function is actually missing in TC

You mean like (FindMe.*AndMe|AndMe.*FindMe) ?

Hi Roman!
Following the pgriffet's request:
"I was hoping that the regex option would provide the AND operator for the "find text" in "Find files".
But I'm disappointed, we only have the OR (with the | character). ..."
I think it's something like this (I'm not an expert at that...)
