Filter results independent of search query?

[wrisco]

I'm trying to filter my search results without redoing the search.

Say I have these files:

Code: Select all

C:\File1
C:\File2
D:\File2
D:\File3

When I search:

Code: Select all

regex:^(C:|D:)(.*)$ !dupe:regular-expression-match-2

The results show the two files that are not duplicated on the other drive:

Code: Select all

Full Path   Regular Expression Match 2
C:\File1    \File1
D:\File3    \File3

Now, when I apply a filter 'C:' I get all files on that drive:

Code: Select all

C:\File1
C:\File2

Instead, I want the files that are not duplicated on the other drive, e.g.:

Code: Select all

C:\File1

What happens with,

regex:^(C:|D:)(.*)$ <!dupe:regular-expression-match-2 cat C:>

?

What happens with,

regex:^(C:|D:)(.*)$ <!dupe:regular-expression-match-2 cat C:>

?

I get files from C: that contain 'cat', including the files that also exist on D:

Basically, for this:

Code: Select all

regex:^(C:|D:)(.*)$ <!dupe:regular-expression-match-2 File C:>

I get:

Code: Select all

C:\File1
C:\File2

Instead, I want to get this:

Code: Select all

C:\File1

Which is the file on C: that does not exist on D:

dupe: is applied after your search.

You'll need to copy the filenames to a file list slot and then perform your C: search:

• Perform your dupe search:
  regex:^(C:|D:)(.*)$ !dupe:regular-expression-match-2
• Select all files (Ctrl + A)
• Copy all filenames to the clipboard (Ctrl + Shift + C)
• Search for:
  filelist1: c:
• Hold down Ctrl and click the filelist1: text in the search box.
• Paste your filenames (Ctrl + V)
• Click OK.

Alternatively, please try the following search:

file:regex:^c:\\(.*)$ !fileexists:d:\\\1

fileexists:

Alternatively, please try the following search:

file:regex:^c:\\(.*)$ !fileexists:d:\\$1:[/rurl]

Excellent!
It does exactly what I want. Very convenient, thank you!
