Sintax change for quicksearch by goto

I found today (under XY v. 24.90) that the sintax
does not work - nothing will be found.
Instead
- the variant without asterisks does work.
Did not find a word about it in help file.
May be I do something wrong, do not know, but it worked with asterisks until now.

Since v24.80.0002 - 2023-08-12 13:42, dereferencing of variables (
*$var) is supported also in interpolated strings (variables are resolved within quoted strings). So you have to take it apart to separate
* and
$:
That's a little unfortunate. I'm thinking of a better solution.

Thank you!
I will take it apart. It works too.
For me it is important that the variant "lacation_1\;location_2\?" (two or more locations) works.

I have now found that
Code: Select all
goto "location\;location\?"."$pattern -text- /d"
does not work, if $pattern contains "." .
Example:
(This post is for additional information. I assume the answer is given under "31 Aug 2023 08:14".)

I don't see a problem with the dot. Are you sure?

Yes, my problem is that I do not see any other cause, can't distinguish.
The example
Code: Select all
goto "location\;location\?"."$pattern -text- /d"
does not work, if $pattern contains "." .

Use this line
Here my result (paths and text (text is one word of letters only) content are changed - but nothing more) is:
"
Query: 2022.08 -text- /d
Parsed: Name: "2022.08" AND Name: "*-text-*"
Search: Quick Search
Mode: Auto
SmartBooleanQueryParsing: Yes
Loose Boolean AND: Yes
ExtendedPatternMatching: Yes
MasterInvert: No
Tags DB Only: No
MatchCase: No WholeWords: No Invert: No
IgnoreDiacritics: No Path: No FindHidden: No
Search Path: C:\locatin_1\; C:\location_2\; C:\location_3\; C:\location_4\; C:\location_5\; C:\location_6\; C:\location_7\
Include Subfolders: Yes
Follow Junctions: No
".
I see asterisks that come not from my script.

Auto-asterisks. There is no bug. Please refer to the Help.

On v. 24.90.0100:
A structure like
Code: Select all
goto "C:\location1\;
C:\location2\;
C:\location3\;
C:\location4\;
C:\location5\;
C:\location6\;
C:\location7\?"."2022 /d";
founds 28 folders for me and
a structure like
Code: Select all
goto "C:\location1\;
C:\location2\;
C:\location3\;
C:\location4\;
C:\location5\;
C:\location6\;
C:\location7\?"."2022.08 /d";
does not find anything - no dereferencing of variables (mentioned here under "31 Aug 2023 08:14"), direct content is "2022.08". Is this goto-result not a bug?
Try it directly in "Scriting | Run script...".
There is one folder under folders found by first code example which contains "2022.08".
It can be filtered out after running the goto code using Live Filter with "2022.08" on that 28 found folders
or using the code
with $YearMonth = "2022.08" in the script.

On the other side:
The code in "Scriting | Run script..."
Code: Select all
$q = "*2022.08*";
goto "C:\location1\;
C:\location2\;
C:\location3\;
C:\location4\;
C:\location5\;
C:\location6\;
C:\location7\?"."$q /d";
founds the folder and the code
Code: Select all
$YearMonth = "2022.08";
$q = "*$YearMonth*";
goto "C:\location1\;
C:\location2\;
C:\location3\;
C:\location4\;
C:\location5\;
C:\location6\;
C:\location7\?"."$q /d";
does not ... - here may be with dereferencing of variables (mentioned here under "31 Aug 2023 08:14").
The blue line above the list shows "2022.08*" with one asterisk after 8...

I found an other way:
Code: Select all
$YearMonth = "2022.08";
$YearMonth = "*".$YearMonth."*";
goto "C:\location1\;
C:\location2\;
C:\location3\;
C:\location4\;
C:\location5\;
C:\location6\;
C:\location7\?"."$YearMonth AND -text- /d";
- THIS will do.
But it is not what it was... "It" was changed. I did not need $YearMonth = "*".$YearMonth."*"; and I did not need " AND " before.
I must say here that I placed my first post of "30 Aug 2023 23:04" under "Tips & Tricks Questions and Answers"
and found it next time I came to the forum under "Bugs". I find the placing under "Bugs" may be found aggressiv - it was not my intention.
It was planed as a peaceful question.

Humm...I thought this thread might help me with my search problem, but it didn't. Just a remark: if "auto-asterisks" is such an interesting topic, it would be nice if it was easier to find in help (possibly an entry in the index)
