Search with file name lists
Search with file name lists
Hello
Is there a way to search for files in xyplorer via file lists? For example, there are 50 file names in the list and the corresponding files
should then be searched for and listed in order to move or delete them.
Is something like this possible with xyplorer or with another tool.
I hope I explained it clearly.
I would be very grateful for any help or tips.

Re: Search with file name lists
Yes, this can be done in XY and many other file managers.
Use the help, and you will find "Search in List".

Re: Search with file name lists
I don't think "Search in List" is what Leo50 is looking for. I think he wants to search the file system by a list.

Re: Search with file name lists
Sowas sollte auch ohne Scripting gehen.
Vorschlag für eine Verbesserung:
In der Suche, unter Location
@fileliste.txt
Das ist z.B. der Weg im Total Commander

Re: Search with file name lists
Könnte man machen, aber das ist bisher nie nachgefragt worden. Scheint mir ein sehr spezieller Wunsch zu sein.

Re: Search with file name lists
Kommt im Everything Forum öfter vor.
User haben einen festen Bestand von Files
und prüfen mit einer solchen Suche auf Vollständigkeit usw.

Re: Search with file name lists
Wie sieht denn so eine Liste aus? Eine Datei pro Zeile, kompletter Pfad?

Re: Search with file name lists
Eine Zeile pro Datei oder Verzeichnis.
Simple oder relative Namen werden zum lfd. Arbeitsverzeichnis im jeweiligen Pane aufgelöst
Ansonsten natürlich auch komplette Pfade.

Re: Search with file name lists
When did we start having discussions in German here?
While I understand it, there will be quite a few others being left out.

Re: Search with file name lists
Okay, let's go back to English.
In my opinion, searching by a list of fully qualified names is not a search ("Where is X?"), but rather a check for existence ("Does X exist?"). This is useful, but I wouldn't run it through the Find Files interface/logic. It should be an additional feature, and the result should be either "OKAY" or a list of missing items.

Re: Search with file name lists
Vom Programmieren habe ich leider keine Ahnung.
Dann muss ich wohl oder übel den langen Weg nehmen, alles einzeln suchen und dann lauschen.

Re: Search with file name lists
Should the list be a file with file names or can they be included in the script (fixed list or always changing)?
