How to include folder with folder\* ?

[anmac1789]

Hello, the following command

Code: Select all

"A:\sdcard\Android\*"

views the immediate files/folders directly under Android\ without subfolders or files...

but How do I also include the Android folder itself so that Android\ , data\ , media\ , obb\ and obj\ folders are shown as well ? ?

[void]

To include subfolders, please try the following search:

Code: Select all

A:\sdcard\Android\**

* = match any character (except \) any number of times.
** = match any character any number of times.



To match any character any number of times with a single *

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  wild
• Select wildcards_star_all.
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

wildcards_star_all

This still doesnt show the Android folder along with 4 other folders only. Instead, all of the files and folders underneath the data\ folder are shown.

[void]

A:\sdcard\Android

However, this will match A:\sdcard\Android2



pathlist:A:\sdcard\Android

wholefilename:A:\sdcard\Android | A:\sdcard\Android\**

regex:^A:\\sdcard\\Android(\\|$)

pathlist:

[anmac1789]

A:\sdcard\Android

However, this will match A:\sdcard\Android2

What do you mean by this ?

pathlist:A:\sdcard\Android

wholefilename:A:\sdcard\Android | A:\sdcard\Android\**

regex:^A:\\sdcard\\Android(\\|$)

pathlist:

basically if I search for A:\sdcard\Android this searches for all files and subfolders and displays the Android\ folder itself. If I search for A:\sdcard\Android\* then this displays all subfolders under Android\* but it excludes the Android\ folder itself and also excludes all other deeper nested subfolder and files. What I am requesting is a mix of either case; to show the Android\ folder itself and including the subfolders directly under Android\ excluding all files and deeper nested subfolders

[void]

A:\sdcard\Android

matches:

A:\sdcard\Android2



Please try the following searches:

A:\sdcard\Android\*|A:\sdcard\Android\*\*
(doesn't list the root android folder)

pathlist:A:\sdcard\Android depth:<=4

Code: Select all

folder:   wfn:A:\sdcard\Android | A:\sdcard\Android\*

That seems to work is there a way to turn this into a filter so that any path I use will have this kind of format ?

[NotNull]

Configure the filter as follows:

Code: Select all

Name = Direct folders
Search = folder:   wfn:$param: | $param:\*
Macro = directfolder

Test:

Code: Select all

directfolder:a:\sdcard\android

Change directfolder to a name of your liking.

Thank you this works as described
