Name:>sometext (also >= < <=)

[meteorquake]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this answered but it would be very helpful for me.
How can one search for a name with a "greater/less then (or equal)" comparison?
Presumably name:>sometext would assume the > is in the name rather than an operator.
However since > is not a valid filename character can I suggest name:>sometext be set to function?
obviously with the other related comparators working likewise...
Cheers, David

Would you like to compare as a string or number?



Name as a string greater than or equal to "N":

stricmp($name:,"N")>=0

eval:



Name as an integer greater than 5 search:

atoi:name:>5
-or-
$name:>5

atoi:



Use regex to capture the number somewhere inside the name, for example a number anywhere in the name is over 9000:

regex:(\d+) atoi:regmatch1:>9000



I will consider comparison operators for name.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Generally I'm comparing the first 19 characters of names as dates in yyyy-mm-dd-hh-nn-ss ...... format. This preserves their date even when their timestamps get altered for various reasons

So for clarification a string compare, since it's in string y...s sequence.
I've noted your function alternatives; obviously if name:> etc is available then that provides a simple format easy to remember consistent with all the other ones such as size:>

String comparisons can also be useful when you want to work through a lot of files in stages, so one day you might deal with names A to B (i.e. name:>=A name:<=B), next day C to D etc, or whatever is required of the field (which presumably could equally be an Album title).

I will consider support for name:>=N

Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, please try sorting by name and jumping to the first file of interest by typing in the result list.

I am still working on name:>n

For now, Everything 1.5.0.1356a adds:

$name:>"2020" $name:<"2022"
$name:>"2021-04" $name:<"2021-06"

eval:

Everything will compare strings lexicographically. (case sensitive)
