Find files by filename length

[Lare2]

I renamed tons of picture files by its MD5 check-sum. I know i probably missed some of them.

Is there a way for me to search for any file where its filename does not equal 32 characters.

I know nothing about Regular Expressions, so don't know if something like this can be accomplished by it.

Hi, Lare2. Yes, it can be done using RegEx:
1. Open Find Files
2. Select a proper directory
3. Switch to Plugins tab
4. Select Plugin:tc ; Property:name ; OP:!regex ; Value:^.{32}$
5. Start search

note: to put it simply, '.{32}' means 'a sequence of 32 characters' ; '^' and '$' around it means 'and nothing else'

edit: fixed a typo

Match between start en end of the file name a string of 1 to 31 characters or a string of 33 or more characters:

Code: Select all

^(.{1,31}|.{33,})$

^      matches start of the file name
.      matches any character
{n,m}  repeat n to m times
(n|m)  match expression n or expression m
$      matches end of the file name

4. Select Plugin:tc ; Property:name ; OP:regex ; Value:^.{32}$

You mean of course: "OP:!regex"

Of course, my bad.

I knew the master users of TC would know the answer.

I will give it a try as soon as I come back to my computer. I just logged in from my tablet to thank you all for the help.

I'll report back soon
