how to do that?

Posted: **13 Apr 2014 21:44**

Interesting question. It is actually possible now through a scripted search, but it would be quite some work and not be very fast.

Why do you need this?

Posted: **13 Apr 2014 22:04**

Something with regexmatches and VF comes to my mind: that would be fast but
- could be limited by the max number of single items the VF code can handle
- would need to be applied every time you change location

Please define "English characters".

in the list, files have same type ,their names: some are arabic and the other is english and i need to jump quickly to the english ones

@ Marco
it would be an appropriate solution
English characters="abc"

And what about "def...z"? And punctuation? Diacritics? Maybe numbers too?

Posted: **13 Apr 2014 22:56**

I really appreciate If you wrote all of the letters from A to Z,numbers and punctuation

I'm don't have an XYplorer installation on this computer right now but does Visual Filters support any sort of Regular Expression? It could be possible to simply use >[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+ (something like that. Not very good at using RegEx) for the Regular Expression and that should display all files that have those in their names... or something like that.

Ok, this VF should exclude every item containing at least one character of the Arabic alphabet, as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet

Code: Select all

!>[غ ف ق ك ل م ن ه و ي ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع]

Many thanks to Enternal for pointing out that VF support regex, didn't think of that at first.

very good, thanks Marco

if i want show these letters only? (important question to me)
what should I put instead "!>" to keep arabic letters?
===============
found the answer

Code: Select all

"Arabic" >[ذضصثقفغعهخحجدطكمنتالبيسشئءؤرلاىةوزظآأإ]

Glad that it helped

Actually, I realize that my solution isn't logically equivalent to your original question, because
"showing only the files with English letters" is not the same as "not showing the files with at least one Arabic letter" - but this is truly nitpicking.
Question: are this

Code: Select all

غ ف ق ك ل م ن ه و ي ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع

and this

Code: Select all

ذضصثقفغعهخحجدطكمنتالبيسشئءؤرلاىةوزظآأإ

exactly the same lists, apart from the additional space(s) in the first one? I ask because then my first regex isn't 100% correct, because it also excludes items containing a space in the name (I'm not familiar with Arabic ligatures!).

Maybe it would be enough to test for the Right-to-left mark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_mark)?

No. See yourself - no RtL mark.

almost they are same without spaces and not excluding items containing a space in the name
