How to perform a 'Multiple file search' ?

[totalcom45]

Hello. I know this question must have been asked multiple times. I did look up. But I still can't get results.

I've files (About 10,000) named like this:

Example:

TFHT-WEJ-A-29083-IFDFH
DFDJ-ERE-H-34985-DFLNK
FGJI-ESH-K-64534-DFWEF
.
.
.


These files are located in different multiple folders/sub-folders (about 50,000).

I need to search using these strings only A-29083 H-34985 K-64534

How can I do that?

Please advise.

Thanks

Did you simply test entering the expression.

Code: Select all

 A-29083 H-34985 K-64534

searching in all subdirectories and ticking everithyng if you intalled it already.
Reading the help gives you:
In this field, you can enter the search mask for the files you want to find. A question mark ? stands for exacly one character, and an asterisk * stands for any number of characters. Multiple search masks can be entered, separated by spaces (see examples below......

if you want full name match you can use regex like ^.{4}-.{3}-((A-29083)|(H-34985)|(K-64534))-.{5}$

everything search is sometimes not handling correctly this expression...

Yes. Tried that.

It says

[No files found]

Thank you

I tried and find that you have to use wildcards, so this should work:

Code: Select all

*A-29083* *H-34985* *K-64534*

Search for: *16* *32*
