Saving Search List

Post by *zgwstores »

Once you have performed a FIND FILE command, is it possible to save the results to a file?

1) to save and load the search parameters you can use the Load/save tab.
2) to save the result once all is found :

Code: Select all

   - feed to listbox  ( Click on botom right button on seach window)
   - select all          ( [ctrl]+A )
   - save to file       ( Call command cm_saveselectiontofile, button, command bar, hotkey....... )

You cannot use "Feed to listbox" when searching in archives. In this case, just click in the result list once (single click) and press Ctrl+C to copy all the names (not just the one you clicked on).

Find Files Load/Save tab

Please check my understanding that saving a search will save my choices under the "General" and "Advanced" tabs, but not my choices under the "Plugins" tab.

For example
X Search in plugins. Combine with OR (any match)
TC fullname contains dog
TC fullname contains cat
etc etc

Background: I see that my saved searches are saved in wincmd.ini under "[searches]"as SearchFor, SearchIn, SearchText, and SearchFlags, where SearchFlags was explained here

I withdraw my question. "Save" will in fact save my plugins choices. (In my haste I probably unchecked "search in plugins.")

In summary, I see that these are saved: SearchFor, SearchIn, SearchText, SearchFlags, and plugin.

For example:
test_plugin=tc.name = cat | tc.name contains dog
or the equivalent
test_plugin=tc.name regex cat|dog
