Look for a string containing (ab-cd)

[torredipisa]

Hello
I kindly need your help for this task:
Simply I want to retrieve all the files which contain a string-text of this type: (ab-cd)
where a,b,c,d, can be any char, "(", ")" and "-" are fixed instead.
Thank you for yr assistance.

If you're looking to find files, filtered, based on what you described:

12:Filter, RegEx (checkmark)

Code: Select all

Mask: \(..-..\)

Thank You
And if (after that) I would want to replace the "-" with "+"?

Examples of file name from -> to please? thanks

Well I have retrieved all the files containing a string like (ab-cd).
Now I want to change - into + --> (ab+cd).

[Admin]

Use Replace (3), replace (ab-cd) with (ab+cd)

Maybe I made a bit of confusion.....
My first aim was to retrieve the files whose name contained a text-string type: (xx-xx) where (,),- were fixed chars and x can be any char.
My further question is: how can I change the char "-" into "+" for every (xx-xx) ?
Thank You for yr help
