v1.07.02 beta - with regular expression commands

<< < (7/8) > >>

Will the new format lend itself to folder constraints?  (Sorry to belabor the point!)

Kevin

Carol Haynes:
Mouser, why not just use a simple INI type format and parse it to merge into existing entries ?

kfitting:
Sorry, I may be missing the boat on this entirely, but how would I make a group that would only return exe files?  I started with this:

Alias Name: exe
Regex: exe (.*)

Now what?  What "command" do I give it? I can type in a trial and it parses the way I think it should... I just don't where to go from there. I want it to look through all the folders and only display files that are exe.  Is this a misapplication of the whole alias principle?  This is a rather simple example, I'll admit, but I have other ideas for it once I get it working.  Thanks for any help,

Kevin

Carol Haynes:
Why not just type it into the box - I don't think you need a rule to do this (or am I missing what you are trying to do).

If you want all .exe on your chosen paths just type *.exe after pressing break, or any other wildcard expression - so w*.exe will bring up all .exe file beginning with w.

kfitting:
Kind of.... I hate typing punctuation (in fact, right now I have AutoHotKey adding apostrophe's for common contractions) so typing .exe after a name is kind of out.  However, the more useful application of this is for files at work.  All our project files begin with M880E.  i would like to make an alias that will filter based on that prefix without having to type it in everytime.  Still somewhat simplistic, I'll admit, but extremely useful... at least to me!  Thanks for the suggestion though,

Kevin

Let me also add that I would like to be able to type something like  "xls parts" and only have excel files with "parts" be returned in the search.  Basically, this is using alias' as a convienient shortcut since typing *parts*.xls takes longer and requires hitting shift and such.

Sorry, let me modify this again.  In essence, I am looking at alias' as a way to change settings on the fly.  Whether it be desired extensions or searched folders, I would like to be able to type an alias to change the behavior of the search function in FindRun.  I think other commands are useful (eg, internet, search, etc) but most useful (to me, mind!) is this changing of the search parameters.  Maybe this is not what these alias' are for.... that's fine!
