Find Files: Cannot exclude folders with [] in name

Chris Wood · Post by **Chris Wood** » 19 May 2006 14:41

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a folder with [] in it's name
2. Put some files in it
3. Add the folder to the list of excluded folders
4. Do a search in the folder's parent for the files

Actual results:
Files are found (not excluded from search).

Interesting bug, thanks! It's the same with folders containing "#" anywhere. And much worse: if an excluded folder name contains only "[" XY crashes!

Fixed.

Yeah I thought so

So you checked all enterable characters?

Not necessary. The problem chars here have been the special characters in the particular type of pattern matching I'm using and these are: * ? # [ ]. Only the last three can exist in file names, and these I have dealt with.
