limited exclude line

Post by *sb234 »

I'd like to use longer exclude line for searching files, but it is limited: why? And is there a work-around?

example:
*.c;*.cfg;*.cmd;*.conf;*.cpl;*.cpp;*.cxx;*.dat;*.dsp;*.dsw;*.gtx;*.h;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.ico;*.ini;*.inl;*.js;*.pl;*.pro;*.py;*.rc;*.reg;*.sh;*.sql;*.tlh;*.txt;*.ui;*.xpm;Makefile;|*away\;*old\;bak\;CVS\;Debug\;extern\;moc\;Recycle*\;Release\;sav*\;.svn\;temp\;tmp*\;ui\;

:) regards

Have a look here for the reason, AFAIK there is no workaround apart from splitting in two commands :(

You could search in the search results (after 'feed to Listbox'). So you may create two 'exclude' filters and search two times.
