Using RegEx In Search

Post by *AnthonyCian »

I would like to do a search to find files with a certain ext in certain folders but omit finding the ext in other folders. I am not familiar with RegEx, and I like to go that route. If that is possible, please show a step by step instruction.
Below is an example of what I am trying to do... But can very with other ext files that is separate from this search. Which is why I like to try the RegEx route if at all possible. Plus it will help me out in another applicatioin doing a similiar function using RegEx. Thanks

I do not want Search to find/show *.mdb files in the Operations folder (omit).
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database1.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database2.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database3.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database4.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database5.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database6.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database7.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database8.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Database9.mdb

However I do want Search to find these *.mdb files and every where else there are mdb files in the AXN Lab folder.
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Data Files\Sample Tracker History\Sample Tracker.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\OPERATIONS\Data Files\Sample Tracker History\SampleTracker 2010 Copy.mdb
y:\AXN Lab\Daily Breakdown and Mill Test\Micro Cup Sheet.mdb
