About regex of Everything V1.4.1.1024 (x64)

[ziyan chen]

I'm using Everything V1.4.1.1024 (x64) , not allowing ground brackets for grouping .

I'm learning the syntax of everything , but I have some problem :

• I saw the example shown in https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/ :

  Code: Select all

  regex:gr(a|e)y

  so I try to list all the file with suffix ".mp4" or ".ts" with the following command

  Code: Select all

  regex:.*\.(mp4|ts)

  but the result is not what I want ;
• Then I would like to do the same thing without regex : I tried

  Code: Select all

  regex:*.<mp4|ts>

  and I got nothing

I'm a little bit confused right now .

[void]

| in Everything means OR.


The | needs to be escaped with double quotes:

regex:"gr(a|e)y"
regex:".*\.(mp4|ts)"



Otherwise, Everything sees:
regex:gr(a|e)y
as:
regex:gr(a OR e)y
(which breaks your regex pattern)



Please consider:

ext:mp4;ts
*.mp4 | *.ts

ext:

Oh thank you : ) by the way I think it should be

Code: Select all

regex:".*\.(mp4|ts)$"
