Hello
I have about 10TB on our network. Is there a way to use DO to search for a folder name instead of a file name? I would like to be able to use wildcards for the the folder name search.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Tools > Find Files > Simple.
Enter the wildcard you want in the Name Matching field.
Set the Type drop-down to Folders.
Hello!
What if you want to search for multiple folder names at the same time?
You can use a wildcard for that, e.g. (moo|cow) to search for folders called moo or cow.
But is it possible to use a regular expression in Tools > Find Files > Simple? I can't get it to work.
Not in Opus 12, you can in Opus 13. In Opus 12, you need to switch to Advanced mode to use regex.
I've done that before (although without specifying the parentheses) but then files are also included.
You can use a Type clause to limit the search to folders.
Thanks! That did the trick!
I found that if the search string ends incorrectly with a |, you get no warning and a completely crazy result. But that might be different in version 13.
If partial matching is on, that would be like saying "or match any string that contains an empty string", and probably matches everything (depending on the rest of the pattern).
Not really an Opus thing but how wildcards/regex work.
Yes, I had a feeling it was outside Opus.
