Need Help How to use Syntax search

Post by Firas »

How to use this function:start-end Is in the range of values from start to end.

need help I copied a lot of files and now I want to delete them but how can I search only between this // wp_a_3500.partsbnd.dcx/ and // this wp_a_4560.partsbnd.dcx ?

This folder has about 11,000 files (it's a Game folder with mods ) And I just want everything to help me search
from // wp_a_3500.partsbnd.dcx/ to wp_a_4560.partsbnd.dcx

So How can I do this Please

As far as I know, there is no such function, but regular expressions (regex) can help here:
  • Make sure no search modifiers are enabled under Menu:Search (i.e. only the Everything option is checked)
  • Paste the following in the search bar:

    Code: Select all

    regex:"^wp_a_(3[5-9]\d{2}|4[0-4]\d{2}|45[0-5]\d|4560)\.partsbnd\.dcx$"
    
This will list all files from 3500 to 4560, including 3500 and 4560 (so 1061 different items in total).

I would not be able to remember it myself either :D
If you need this specific search more often, you can save it as a bookmark (Menu:Bookmarks)

If you ever need something similar, just ask on the forum...


(Personally I would just search for
wp_a_*.partsbnd.dcx
and sort by Name to make it easy to delete)
