searching folders with custom path
« on: December 30, 2011, 07:55 AM »
hi there,

I have a projects folder which has a certain structure (which I can't control). So it's something like:
"/projects/[some name]/[project number][some random text]/static text1/static text2/"

now, what I need is that when I enter [project number] folder 'static text2' to pop up.

I tried using Aliases, but they don't allow to enter real regular expression in Results to filter '[some random text]'.
I checked search directory, but options doesn't seem to fit for this case.

Is this something possible to achieve?

thanks in advance,
karolis

Yes I think it can be very easily done
We’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun, and then make an alias like this:

Now when you type something like "bdi new"
it will show the contents of E:\MyDownloads\new

Modify for your needs.

ok, I my case if I search in something like this:
"/projects/[some name]/[project number][some random text]/static text1/static text2/"

I would write:
"dosearch $$1[some random text]/static text1/static text2/"
but what should i replace random text part (which is different for every project and I know only number in advance) with?
