wrong results in search file

[Michael REMY]

hi !

in my folder, i have a list of files named like that :

www.file1.mpg
www.file2.mpg
www.file3.mpg


when i search file using the string "www", then it returns all what is correct.

but

When i search file using the string "www." (with dot), then it returns nothing !


Strange isn't it ?

When you specifying just www w/o quotes, TC searches all files with names containing www in any part of name.

Pattern "www." matches all files with name www and empty extension, so result is correct. Try to use wildcard:

Code: Select all

"www.*"

You can press F1 in search dialog to read more about available patterns.

Well, that is how it is designed.
Keep it simple as long as possible ...
As long as you are not using any dot, the search expression is interpreted like *expression*.

If you are using at least 1 dot you have to specify the wildcards yourself.

Just enter "www.*" to match.
