File search including folders and extensions

#1 Post by clanman » 24.08.2021, 14:45

I am trying to search a given folder and sub folders for a number of extensions and a given sub folder of the base folder for all files in any folder of that folder. See example below:

Location tab
Filename field: *.def;*.dic;*.ini;*.def

Search in area
Folders field: c:\temp\config

The above works great and finds all the files of the required extensions. Now I have a folder under c:\temp\config called "template". This folder contains none of the above extensions. I want to include all files in this folder as well. I thought the following change would do it but when I add either I get nothing.

Filename field: *.def;*.dic;*.ini;*.def;\template or *.def;*.dic;*.ini;*.def;\template\*.*

or

Filename field: \template;*.def;*.dic;*.ini;*.def or \template\*.*;*.def;*.dic;*.ini;*.def

Currently you can not make it in one step.
If you want to have the files in one list:
- export the found files to file container
- use in the search dialog "Find - append to found items"
