show folders missing a specific file

[laragoza]

i input files into folders 2 deep and frequently have to run the search and then manually check off the folders that do not contain the file. is there a way to search for a term "filename" that is not contained (found) in the folders. therefore producing a list of folders that do not contain the search term. as everything has a specific database of folder this would produce the result i need.

Yes, that is possible.

However, a couple of examples would help in providing you with a fitting solution.

Rough solution:

Code: Select all

folder:  "C:\this folder"   depth:2  !wfn:child:"file name.txt"
