Searching for partial foldername with direct filetype descendents

[aviasd]

Hi,
Everything 1.5 allows doing a search that wasn't previously available in 1.4

Code: Select all

utils*\*.ps1

This translates to: Get me all .ps1 files that are direct descendants in folders whose name contains utils.

How could I rewrite the query to give the same results for multiple filetypes?

I.E:
I have a macro scr: which is a filter: ext:bat;cmd;ps1;py
How would I create the query:
Give me all scr: files that are direct descendants in folders whose name contains utils.
The above syntax doesn't apply to this situation..


P.S

I am aware that group expansion allows to do

Code: Select all

utils*\*.<ps1|bat>

The question is how to apply a complete filter.


Thanks

please try the parentname: search function with your scr macro:

scr: exact:parentname:utils

use the exact: modifier to match the whole name "utils"

Ahh,
That's the one, thanks!
It Isn't available in the Search syntax help, but available in the insert function menu.
Have some exploring to do..
