I want to select only the ?2.jpg and ?3.jpg. I cant get it to work. If i run this on the 4100 files, opus goes into the hour glass and sits there for minutes (not recovering). If i run it on a sample subset (10 files) it doesnt select any files.
Could anyone help me with the right expression ? Will opus recover on the 4100 files eventually and select them or is that a bug ?
What did you actually do? (i.e. What did you click and what did you type, into where? Also, which version of Opus?) If it went unresponsive for minutes then that sounds like a bug which should be fixed but more detail is needed to understand what happened.
I would need to identify the space character before IMG_0172 2.JPG, how do I do that ? Currently it also selects IMG_0172.JPG, which is the original I would like to keep.

I go to "EDIT", "SELECT" then advanced, then enter an expression like *(2|3).jpg, all checkboxes clear, then hit enter. 4100 files in the Dir. windows7x64, opus 9.5.6.3937
Please post a screenshot of the Select-Advanced dialog just before you push return or click OK. The dialog must have some kind of action and filter configured in it (not just a wildcard string) and the exact details matter.
enclosed is the screenshot. on the 4100 files (win7x64) it runs for 10 minutes but eventually comes back. Is that normal ?

That filter is actually searching the contents (via the Contains clause) of the files, not the filenames - so Opus has to search through the entire content of every file. If you want to search filenames, use the Name clause.
I would need to identify the space character before IMG_0172 2.JPG in my regular expression, how do I do that ? Currently it also selects IMG_0172.JPG, which is the original I would like to keep.
How do I catch the space in IMG_0172 2.JPG using a regular expressio ?
You're using wildcards rather than regular expressions. (There is some overlap but the syntaxes are very different in places so it's best not to confuse the two. Opus supports both.)
FWIW, you should not need the [ or ] (although it's probably harmless). Just * (2|3).jpg should be enough.
