File Find - having to type asterisks
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2010 1:58 pm
Hi,
Great program Charles. My two particular main usages will be finding files, and hex viewing. It was via a google for hex viewer that I found your program, by the way. I am also using the copy filelist to clipboard - this really has some nice options. The customisable field list is amazing.
Anyway, I found it counter-intuitive that I had to wrap asterisks around the filename text in the "Named:" field in the File Search.
Using the analogy from Visual Studio, there could be a choice of search type. For example:
- Any text (needs no wildcard, searches for the entered string within the filename)
- Wildcard (Windows/DOS)
- Regular Expression
In VS this is chosen from a combo dropdown box.
Hope this would not be much work to implement.
Thanks for an excellent work of software.
