Problem in searching content of .mk files

[smahesh555]

I am using version 14.30.0100 and face this problem.

I have a huge folder structure and need to search for a particular string in .mk files. File type selected as 'All types'

When I search for only .mk files I am able to get matches, but when I put my string in the 'contents' tab and search there are no matches.

To confirm if problem in my side I tried the same experiment with Agent Ransack, where it is working fine and getting results.

Repeated the same in XYPlorer on *.txt files and it is working. Problem only with .mk files.

Open Tools->Configuration -> Previewed Formats. Add mk (without the .) to "Text Files" list.

Don't know if Ransack also has Boolean RegEx and the other smart features of its bigger brother (FileLocator), but should you use it more often, this may be interesting to you:

Next version will add MK files to text files by default. If other formats are missing let me know.

just noticed AutoIt3 scripts "*.au3" aren't in the list.

OK, added.

Also *.rdf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_ ... k#Examples)

a subset of my text PFA-A's:

Code: Select all

json;xslt;conf;pl;lua;iss;md;markdown;rst;eml;lrc;srt //definitions follow:
json;xml stylesheet;conf;Perl;Lua;InstallScript script;MarkDown;MarkDown;restructuredText;email;music lyrics;movie subtitles

and is this tricky? some software come with extensionless textfiles: README,LICENSE,CHANGELOG,COPYING and CONTRIBUTE, AUTHORS, ... ... ... (just look at emacs)
Also, MAKEFILE and *.makefile

.hxx and .cxx

Whoops, what have I done!? OK, I added some of these but I cannot add all sorts of exotic extensions. Let's stick to the really important ones.

Sammay's ones don't seem exotic at all
