Child: searching

Post by Phlashman »

Using 1.5.0.1339a (x64)

In the help it states

child:<filename> Search for folders that contain a child with a matching filename.

Also in the forums for finding files with non ascii characters I found

regex:[^\x00-\x7F]

For me the regex search returns 132 files with highlighted non ascii characters. So if I wanted to find the folders that have these files
in them I tried the following:

child:regex:[^\x00-\x7F]

It returns 0 results :( why?

Please try the following search:

regex:child:[^\x00-\x7F]

The regex: search modifier must go before the child: search function.

That worked thanks. :-)

just one more thing, what is the extra needed with this search to display a column with the number of matching files in each folder?
