New Filter Question

Help & Support

Hi

I am using the new filter box with SHOW and FILES and FOLDERS checked and PARTIAL MATCH unchecked. In a directory where there are files like...

(some name
(some other name
some name with no bracketing
some other name with no bracketing

...a search criterion of '(* correctly finds only the files whose name starts with a bracket. However, a search criterion of ~'(* finds everything. Am I misunderstanding the use of ~ as a logical NOT?

Regards, AB

Try ~('(*)

Thanks. As a matter of interest, given that I am searching on a single criterion, why the requirement for a bracketed expression? Presumably the NOT (~) prefix?
