"Whole words only" search. Searching "find te

Post by *JimmyTheBroker »

Hi guys,

simple question.
in the "Find Files" thingo (super technical I know!)

The "Find text" looks within files for your text, Right? or Am I wrong?

If I have the "Whole words only"[Ticked on]
and "Find text:" Schedule B

Does that mean Total Commander is ignoring "B" and "Schedule" ie the results will only show files with the exact phrase "Schedule B" in them?

I did a search for "program a" (without quotes) in pascal sources and I only found the programs which start with an "a". So it works as you say. You don't need to put "Whole words" on.

If you look for "Schedule B" with option "Whole words", TC will look for "Schedule B" with a word separator before the "S" and after the "B". That can be a space, tab, line break, punctuation or file beginning/end.
