Ignoring leading characters

Post by seansiler »

I have a lot of folders named "Folder 01", but I want to find folders that are misnamed "Folder 1"

When I search for Folder 1, all of the Folder 01 entries are returned as well. I cannot figure out how to search for only "Folder 1" and ignore the "Folder 01"

Any ideas?

You've already stated one method,
"Folder 1"
.
Enclose your search term in quotes.

Note that as written, it will find "Folder 1" & not "Folder 1" (with two spaces) [hmm, the board won't actually show that].
Likewise, it will also find "Folder 1X". But at least it will not find "Folder 01" ;-).
