However, typing pf\exe shows executables in main folder and ALL subdirs recursively
are you sure this is true -- or is it the case that there are no exe matching entries in the main folder? my memory is that it works like this: IF matching files are found in the exact directory you specify, then its not going to go into subfolders.  only when you tell it to show you exe matching files in some explicit directory and it doesnt find any will it then try to help you out by searching deeper.

you could of course add the \*\ into your aliases to always look as deep as it can.

ok done, it will be in next version.
i also added something which i hope wont confuse things, which is that if you just type
+X or -X or *X or /X
then it will actually behave as if you had typed
lv+X or lv-X or lv*X or lv/X

so that you can easily add a sum of numbers for example by just typing
100
+10
+5
+240
etc...

to "search" in those places, you could add both directories to the search directories tab, and add the "pf" modifier to both.

then if you wanted to search in both places for a file you would do:
"+pf filename"

the dosearch alias example above is for directory BROWSING, not for normal searching (so no you cant combine both folders since its really browsing the directories).

im going to change the import and export format to use xml like the new alias files use, so this import and export format may not be very important to remember, but you can see the hotkey and result filter format simply by "exporting" an alias with those things.

basically its:

SCORE>>>NAME>->RESULTS>+>REGULAREXPRESSION>/>HOTKEYNUMBER>#>REGEXRESULTFILTER

no, whats special about using the dosearch action is that it is live as you type.  try it and see.

Living Room / DoCo Reading Week June 8, 2007 - Join In!
« Last post by mouser on June 08, 2007, 02:20 PM »
Let's try a new fun project, reading week.
Goal is to read for 1 hour a day, every day, for a week.

Starting today June 8, 2007 (If 1hr is too long for you, cut it to 30 minutes).  School books count, as do academic papers, paperpack novels, programming language reference guides, whatever. If it goes well we can keep extending it to more weeks.

Post what book/papers you are reading here in this thread (you can edit your post to add more stuff if you read multiple papers/books within the week).

I'm going to start off this week by finishing a book i'm not enjoying very much (self-indulgent and empty): The Emotion Machine by Marvin Minskey.

Who wants to join me?

How does the line of code relate to what you would put in the text boxes if you were defining the aliases yourself?
here's the screenshot:

could you back up a bit and recommend a simple reference to regexes as used in Farr for people who are not used to working with them?

I have one feature request tough. Maybe it is already implemented in new farr, I am using 2.00.82.
Could you possibly add an option to exclude certain subfolders from search?

you can currently do this in a very cumbersome way by adding the folder to ignore on the pattern scoring tab but it's really an annoying way to make users to do it and prone to errors, and slows down search. 

So, let me add this feature today, it's clearly something needed.

It happened after I double clicked on a file name (in FARR's main list window) to open it. it opened the file, and then hanged.

that seems like quite a clue, but it still seems like it is hanging in different places for those of you where it does hang.. i still suspect it could be unc issue.

can you guys try 2.00.99 and tell me if this version also hangs on you.

Our own Skrommel gets another rave mention..

The verdict: all I can say is that as a long time user of Screamer Radio I am extremely excited about the functionality that ScreamerMenu adds to that program. If you use Screamer Radio download this immediately; if you don’t, download and start using both programs ASAP.

Find And Run Robot / FARR v2 Tricks and Tips Clinic
« Last post by mouser on June 06, 2007, 10:41 AM »
I thought i'd start a little thread for FARR tricks+tips on some of the more unusual stuff in FARR v2.

I'll start with a trick that demonstrates the "dosearch" special alias action.  Although described in the help file its not obvious how you might use this special action.  Here's one way.

You know that FARR2 can do direct browsing of folders, etc.
So you could type "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\..." etc.

Here's an alias that will let you type "pf\" instead of "C:\Program Files\" as a shorthand:

[Select]
1000>>>pf alias search>->dosearch C:\Program Files\$$1>+>^pf\\(.*)$

just select that code and go to your alias file and choose IMPORT menu.

basically it just says that on matching regular expression "^pf\\(.*)$"
treat that as if user typed "C:\Program Files\$$1"

so the dosearch alias action is a way of letting the user type one thing, and making the program think they typed another.

You must've also inherited a million dollar to have you do all this work of managing the site and writing code voluntarily and on donation basis.

hahahahahhahahahahahaahah
that would be funnier if the truth weren't so sad.

if i inherited a million dollars, i would pay off my student loans and truly be able to spent all of my time developing free software. right now i'm just basically treading water.  i should write up a little description of what DC could do with a million dollar gift, when i think off all the good stuff we could do, compared with the daily press releases about companies buying each other for hundred of millions, you can understand why i get kind of cynical and grumpy.

i've just come to accept that i'm going to spend a huge chunk of my time coding this stuff no matter what, and the support from everyone on this site at least keeps me from drowning :)
