Regular expressions in file finder

[pjdevries]

I'm new to XYplorer, so maybe I missed something, but from what I can see, it's not possible to use regular expressions in the File Finder. Renaming files does support regular expressions though, so I wonder if it's possible to make it so for the File Finder as well.

Oops! I just notice the "Mode" option in the File Finder. Regular expressions are supported after all.

You can also use the ">" prefix to mark an expression as Regular expression. That way you don't need the "Mode" option, AND -- more important-- the mode is stored right with the expression and easily recoverable from the MRU dropdown.

Very nifty. Thanx for the tip.

Very nifty. Thanx for the tip.

Even more nifty: you can click the label "Mode" to cycle the prefixes.

Even more nifty indeed! I guess it's about time I read the documentation from cover to cover
