Show only folders where name contains comma followed by a space, i.e. ", "

Post by myrnalarson »

I'm looking at a top-level folder. It contains no files, just subfolders.

I want to see only those folder names that contain a comma followed by a space (e.g. Smith, John), or that do NOT contain a comma followed by a space, (e.g. Smith John)

I've tried setting a visual filter using wildcards (e.g. |*, *) or with a Reg Exp. I can't get anything to work. All folders are displayed. Do visual filters work only with files and not with folder names?

There is a setting:

Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters | Apply to files only
