Hi Community,
I'm having a hard time to figure out the exact capabilities of "Subfolder filter" regex in File>Search feature.
More specifically, I'd like to find csv archive files in a folder hierarchy organized by archive date, application, etc. amongst others e.g. :
.\20140331\APP1\file1.csv
.\20140331\APP1\file2.csv
.\20140331\APP2\file3.csv
.\20140331\file4.csv
.\20140430\APP1\file5.csv
.\20140430\APP2\file6.csv
.\OTHERDIRS\manyfiles*.csv (not to be returned)
I would basically like to be able to find files only located in some dated subdir but neither regex in "Subfolder filter" seems to work as for :
- \d{6} to only get files in a YYYYMMDD subdirectory
- \d{6}\\APP\d to only get files from a specific APP in a dated subdir
Am I missing something here ?
Thanks

I think the subfolder filter can be used only for subfolder name and not for the subfolder path.
Try to check:
\d{8}|App\d
If you like to have only files in the result list then deactivate "Directory" attribute in the "Timestamp/Size/Attr" tab.

Hi Karol,
Thanks for your prompt answer.
So I'll probably drop some feature suggestion in the appropriate forum.
(it's a huge warehouse archive filesystem and I have many of trickiers queries to submit)
Maybe I'll pipe and script a partial staged result from FC.
Thanks anyhow.
(Thank you also for correcting my regex on the fly, I didn't typo 6 vs. 8 when I tested

It seems, unfortunately (if I may say because I hadn't seen any unfortunate thing yet within FC)Karol wrote:I think the subfolder filter can be used only for subfolder name and not for the subfolder path.

This construct will OR directory names and I would typically not want to get those sub-APPx files not belonging to some precise date at some pointKarol wrote:\d{8}|App\d
