Copy files dialog: How to define files to copy on a part of it name ? (RegEx, wild cards)

[Joeyy]

In copy files dialog, I can filter file type, but it can only support file type (like *.css), if I want to filter ".+dark.+.css" (regex, just for showing my purpose), i.e., css files include "dark "in filename, what should I do?

if you want only css files with "dark" in the filename it would be

Code: Select all

*dark*.css

PS: press F1 in the filetype box and read the help

Instead of RegEx-filter:
filter ".+dark.+.css"


use more * wildcard joker-sign to show where it should be variable:
filter "*dark*.css"



You can also use the F8-button and define your pattern via a search, where you can also use plugins or combination of criteria.

Try:

Code: Select all

<.+dark.+\.css

In the copy dialog you can press F8 and then define a search for .+dark.+.css - select the RegEx box and save the search (name it for example darkcss). You can now find >darkcss in the "Only files of this type" dropdown list"
