Don't type the stars !
If you just type 2016 after the CTRL-S it will exactly showing your 2 wanted entries.

Not quite. It depends on the setting Operation > Quick Search > Exact name match > "Beginning (name must start with first typed character)", or in this case maybe even the settings of Quick Search extended; don't know if that has any since I don't use it.

Well, you could have mentioned that you use Quick Search extended. I'm repeating myself: Be as precise as possible!

Maybe someone wants to use it?
VBS script.

Code: Select all

Dim WshShell

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

rok=InputBox(vbnewline & vbnewline & space(30) & "Pozostaw filmy z tego roku",space(28) & "Nazwa filmu (####)",2016,,5000)

WshShell.SendKeys "^s"
WshShell.SendKeys rok
WshShell.SendKeys "{ESC}"

Set WshShell = Nothing

WScript.Quit

Well, that may be just a side-effect. And as I said: wrong command for the purpose.

It is even documented that cd can be used to set view filters:

Help:

Command
3. You can make a button to change directories, by specifying cd directory name as the command. You can even choose which files to show, e.g. using the command cd directory\*.txt

Or Indirectly documented:
History:

28.06.13 Fixed: "cd" command in button bar couldn't handle include/exclude wildcards for directories, e.g. "cd *.* | *.*\" or "cd c:\test\*.* | *.*\" (32/64)

I have a whole line of premade filters in my Extended Menus based on using cd, and this use of cd have been discussed on the forum several times (just impossible to search for "cd").

But sexy69 is right about that cd don't support filtering of folders - Ghisler has said that is to prevent not ending up with a totally empty file panel without the possibility of navigating.
