Search for missing filetype within folder/sub-folders

[MikeOxlittle]

Hello,

I'm trying to search and list sub-folders that are missing a certain filetype. I've read through the FAQ and done some Google searches trying to find the answer but am coming up slow/short.

I want to add subtitle (.srt filetype) to my movie collection. I can find the folders with them fine but want to just list the ones WITHOUT so that I can add them in.

Hope this is clear and thank you for any help.

I think you are saying that your movies and .srt files are in the same folder?

In that case:

Code: Select all

child:*.mkv | child:*.mp4   !child:*.srt

The first two part shows all folders that contain mkv and/or mp4 files.
The second part removes all folders from that list that do not contain srt files.



If you have Everything 1.5 installed:

Code: Select all

child:*.mkv;*.mp4   !child:*.srt

TYVM NotNull, that did the trick.

I would've NEVER figured that out without your help, cheers.
