Hi all,

I am trying to search a drive for files with a relatively complex pattern... any ideas how I can do this?

Text contains: 'dk57cy' AND
(File name contains: '%_7.xml' OR
File name contains: '%_8.xml' OR
File name contains: '%_9.xml') AND
(File name does not contain: '%_37.xml' OR
File name does not contain: '%_38.xml' OR
File name does not contain: '%_39.xml')

I don't need the 'does not contain's in the above due to the OR clauses, but it would be useful to have exclusions for future stuff.

Thanks
 
Ok so I've tried a few utilities and found FileLocator Lite. Runs really well and allows me to use the different operators which is great. Also it's multithreaded so runs a lot quicker.

Please close.
