Find all folders NOT containing *fr?.jpg files

[piverto]

Hello,

I cannot manage this

Very numerous folders, and sometines no jpg file with filename containing the string fr in the filename.
I need to correct this for management of my collection. Manually it is almost impossible.

Thanks in advance !!

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I have typed that in the search window, and as result I get ALL my folders ( exactly same number that I get when in windows explorer selecting them all)

Am I doing someting wrong ?

TIA

Oh

Looking at my post I see I have inserted a space between *fr. and the \ ...

I just tried after having deleted it and now find 'only' 3239 folders ....


That is still a lot, and contains 'root' folders in my system.

Is there a way to add a selection criterium by finding all folders as you showed me BUT THAT contain wav files ?

TIA so much

You've entered the pattern wrong...

*.wav /p
should work (can't try atm)

Hi, thanks

But to get in one run all folders not containing *fr.jpg AND containing a wav file ?
How di I combine these two criteria please

I have tried toi simply add it to the end of previous search, but that didn't work

>^.*fr.\jpg /x *.wav /p

Here is one way I think should do it, untested though:

:prop:#contains.*fr?.jpg:0 AND prop:#contains.*.wav:1 /d

Hi,

super !
Your last suggestion works perfectly !

:prop:#contains.*fr?.jpg:0 AND prop:#contains.*.wav:1 /d

I have just added a ? after the fr in the filename, since some end with fr, others withh fr0 or fr1.

Last question if I do not abuse : how can I select all folders that contain CD in their name ( ie CD1, CD2, CD3 etc)

Cordially
Thank you so much. You greatly helped me.

Where can I fin a refernce and examples of the 'langage' you use to do these searches ?

Execute this from the address bar:
rtfm "idh_find.htm";

[piverto]

Hi,

thanks for th eanswers. It works

Except for the : rtfm "idh_find.htm";

I get a message scripting not available in home edition .... and I have the home edition lifetime.... registered of course
except enterprise versions I do not find another XYPlorer version. Do I miss something there ?

Then open the .chm file and read:
Main Topics - Quick Search
Main Topics - Info Panel - Find Files Tab
