[Using 25.20.0100]

I have files in a folder with names that contain a pound sign (#) but am unable to filter them in the Live Filter box if I use the # character. I've tried escaping with "\#" and quoting '#' but to no avail. Is there any way to filter with the literal # character?

For example, I have files named like this:

Code: Select all

section12-#50
section12-#51
section37-#11

and so on. I want to filter just those containing 12-# or 12-#5.

As always: [#]

Or you uncheck

Code: Select all

Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box | [x] Enable extended pattern matching

Thanks! I would never have considered that. I suppose there's a good reason why simply escaping with a backslash would be problematic.
