How to select over many files with "logical" search ?

Post by GAJ »

Hello all,

I wonder how to select - for instance - all files in ".txt" that do not have an equivalent title in ".doc" in the same folder ?

Say, I have some files like in this sample list :
123.txt
123.doc
123.xls
456.txt
456.xls
789.txt
789.xls

And I would like to select only "456.txt" and "789.txt"

Could you tell me how to do this please ?

Thank you very much for your time helping me !

With Everything 1.5:

*.txt !whole:sibling:$stem:.doc


! = NOT
whole:
sibling:

So many thanks void !

So clear, so simple amazing feature... Bravo !

I'll install v1.5 instead of my old v1.4x, and I'll try it ASAP, then I'll come back here to say my retex.

EDIT :
THIS WORKS (very, very fine !)

Thank you very much again for all this awesome work !

PS: the newt step will be to make it works over a local network within NAS windows, etc ? O:-)
