File Filter using RegEx?

Help & Support
1

How do I filter the view using RegEx? The regular File Filter only appears to accept a text string (with wildcards)

2

Can I somehow apply a filter that has been created and saved elsewhere (e.g. in Advanced Find)?

The Select (raw) command will do what you want. The example in the Help file reads...

For example, Select .*.jpg REGEXP to select all .jpg files.

There are also options for hiding selected or unselected.

Apologies, I meant to point out the section that reads..

Select MyFilter FILTER

..where FILTER is a previously saved named filter and it can be a REGEXP.

Is this for for Selecting files, or Filtering the view?

Also, how would I execute this command?

You can execute commands from a button. The Select command has an option to hide unselected files, and also an option to remove the selection, so something like..

Select *.doc HIDEUNSEL
Select NONE

..will filter so that only .doc files are visible and nothing is selected.
