How to Filter Files by Name in a Program

Help & Support
1

Hello,

Is there a way to put some file names into the program and have it display only those files, something like a name filter or something similar, or is there another way to do this?

2

Several ways. E.g. Push * (Shift + 8) in the file display to open the Filter Bar, and type a filename or wildcard.

I would like to enter multiple file or folder names at once and have only those displayed. For example, if I have 100 files and I want to display files named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, how would I do that?
