Filter for files with a string in the file name

[sca1234]

Hi

I want to filter to only see or select files that have Capital Finance10 in the file name from hundreds of files that have Capital Finance9, Capital Finance11, Capital Finance12, etc in their files names

I want to perform a renaming operation on Capital Finance10 only

Appreciate if you can explain the exact steps - I emailed this in and got a terse reply to use Filters (12), but I have not been able to figure the right syntax and settings to get it to do what I need.

Thanks

12:Filters -> Mask

Code: Select all

capital?finance10
or
capital*finance10
or
cap*fin*10
or
cap*10


They all mean something different, & potentially could return different sets of files, but all should work to some extent or the other.

capital?finance10:
? matches any single character, so it could be a space "capital finance10" or it would also match "capitalZfinance10", or ....

capital*finance10:
* matches zero or more characters, so it could be "capital finance10" or "capitalfinance10" or "capital-supercalafragilistic-finance10", or ...


(You may need to hit the blue refresh button in 12:Filters.)

Great - thanks so much for your help with this - was missing the asterisk at the end
