FIND issues

Help & Support
1

Hi again! o)

I experienced some problems using the Find command.
I found that it does not support wildcards in the CONTAINS argument and there is no "REGEX" or "WILD" switch to make that work either.

Additionally, I expected to be able to pass selected files to Find, to make it search for strings in these files only.
Well, that actually works "a bit", any file passed via the IN argument gets through to Find it seems (verified by using NOAUTORUN), but then DO thinks these items are folders or something (context menu shows: Remove Folder), so it seems there is something missing or even wrong?

The initial plan was to setup a button to search for multiple pre-defined strings in files I have currently selected, like so:

Find * CONTAINING "*(error|warning)*" IN C:\SourceCode\file1.txt C:\SourceCode\file2.txt

Thx!

It doesn't do either of those things.

I ask because I had trouble with Find in the past and now a thread in the german forum regarding that popped up as well.
If it does not do either of those things right now, ok! Maybe DO does in the future.

I actually had the impression it should work, since Find IN picked up the files I passed to it.
One could call that a bug, but maybe that's just an "unfinished feature" for as long as files are unsupported. o)
