Search list of files

[JohnMullins]

Hello,
Is it possible to search for a list of files with XYplorers file search function? So for example I want to find in a huge folder including its subfolders find the files with the names "test1", "name", "xyz" etc?

Just chain them with a semicolon in between, e.g.

test1;name;xyz

[x] Include subfolders in the Name & Location tab must be checked, too.

Cool, that worked. Thanks!

Huh. Highend you helped me solve the same problem with a script here: www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13973
I suppose that using semicolons is better though... Same effect, but you don't have to specify "boolean."

Wouldn't say they're better. They are just easier for JohnMullins. Boolean searches are more powerful. And you don't have to specify "boolean" for each search (regarding the script).

Just replace the first line with:

Code: Select all

copytext replace(formatlist(":<clipboard>", "e", "<crlf>"), "<crlf>", " OR ");

It prepends a ":" which automatically converts the normal search into a boolean one (so just select normal, not boolean^^).
