XYplorer Beta Club

I tried the new beta with selection filter and i think its very handy tool. Biig kisses to this.

But there are some issues.

size:? KB -> selects all items < 10 KB

This works only when the size format is set to KB (rounded up). and partly with Flexible (rounded up).

Same might be true with date format selection, but i have not tested it.

Also, is there any way to select files under 100kb, 1mb etc??

No surprise to me. I forgot to mention in the history (just edited it):
"The comparison that results in selections on a match is a case- insensitive string comparison (not number or date comparison)."

Yes, format Size column to display "Raw Bytes", then you can use some RegExp (don't ask me which ) to find all sizes that are smaller than a certain length.

Well, no time to learn RegExp. I will do it via size in find files (its faster that way).

Well here's the necessary selection filter with a RegExp:
"size:>^\d{1,5}$" Finds all files with a size of less than 100000 bytes
(1 to 5 digits in size column)
"size:>^\d{1,4}$" Finds all files with a size of less than 10000 bytes
(1 to 4 digits in size column)
a.s.o.

Thanks for that. Works fine here. I guess its time to learn regexp as i can see how handy it is. .

Sure no problem, and yes, whenever the usual find or search abilities don't satisfy the needs then have a look at RegEx and the good thing is, it's not as difficult as it seems at first.
Have fun with it...

I think this has been mentioned before, there is a good article on the subject at http://www.regular-expressions.info/ which is well worth the read.

And a good tool to make and learn regular expressions is Regex Coach. Freeware

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
