Search question

Post by *wanderer »

In search (Alt-F7), you can search for files containing a certain pattern (i.e. *Hello*) in the filename. Is there a way to search for files that do not contain this pattern?

TIA

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3 (very rarely nowadays).
x64: Clients/Servers - Win10/Win11 and Win2K16 to Win2K22, mainly Win10 though.

If not, then consider it a feature-request :)

I'd love to see this, so if it's already in there, please let us know, I sure haven't found out how...

Consider it an "experience sharing":
Isn't it easier to go to Find Files dialog and press F1 to read small piece of text about all undiscovered yet possibilities? :)

I see that this one is from 2003 :), but can't find if something like this is now already an option included in TC and if there is a way to search files that don't contain certain term?

I'd appreciate if someone could let me know.

Thank you,

The plugin TextSearch can do that.
Install it from Totalcmd.net and search using the plugins tab.
The operation is !contains
