How can I search NOT subdirectories

Windows Explorer 7

You use Windows 7, it is more assistance by conducting a search in Windows Explorer. Please learn/remember/research of a syntax guide if you want to do advanced searches.

I was not able to find any documentation that describes how to limit the number of levels subfolder/subdirectory that you can find or even say to simply search the current folder.

How do I do that?

Hi Niborjus,

To prevent Windows to search subfolders and subdirectories, you can follow these steps below.

a. open Windows Explorer.
b. click on organize.
c. Select folder and search options
d. click on the "search" tab.
e. clear the check box for "shirts to folder Include subfolder and search results when searching in '.

I suggest you follow this below article for help.

  • How can I search for all files not containing a speific (_) character in a folder in Windows 7?

    How can I search in Windows 7 for all files not containing a speific (_) character in the file?

    I have two files with about 50 000 files in each folder.  There are many copies of the same file (only one folder contains photos, the other file has data files.  In the two files copies have the same name as the original file, for example IMG01, but identified for example IMG01_1, IMG01_2, etc..)

    I would like to find all files that DO NOT have a _ in them.  Can I do this?  How?

    Or I have to search for all files that have a _ by searching for * _ *?  Delete these files?

    I tried, but program trotted for 2 hours.  Just take a while?

    I thought that if I could search only files without the _ it would be more effective.

    Less than 20% of the files in each folder have not a _ in them.

    You should be able to use a? or * to replace a number of characters that are either unique or variable.  * book would find both book and facebook, or? ook would only book.

    Anyway, there's probably not a way to identify the files corrupted by a search.

    How can I search all subjects in my guide? and if this is not possible, how do I get books have not not subjects with the same name?

    "People need be able to find these without having to look inside each book TOC.

    Sorry, but I'm not a big fan or user of this sensitive arrangement "New kid on the block. Therefore, it may be that I am simply misunderstanding because I do not regularly use it. Of what you say, it seems to me that if you (or more precisely your users) are not able to click on the right side, where he says 'Getting Started' or 'List of Email Campaign' and see these topics open and view the content with search terms highlighted?

    Regarding the "bookmarks", those that are normally visible by the user and will be not viewable unless the name of the bookmark appears also as text within the topic. Although, if the two are different, you could probably get there by adding the name of the bookmark as a keyword search in the properties of the section.

    In any case, I feel that at this point, I can just be frustrating you and you may need someone else to try to help that probably better understand the issue.

    Sorry, I was not able to help.

  • How can I search for hexadecimal number of 32-bit in .csv file

    Hello

    How can I search for 32-bit in .csv file usinf labview 8.6.1 hexadecimal number

    Mathan,

    This post was not really a solution.  He just ordered Sandy to post in the appropriate forum, which we now know is LabVIEW 8.6.1 LV.

    Sandy,

    You want to read the text file, then use the search/Split String function to find the matching characters that make up your hexagonal pattern.

    What you ask is a little strange wordly since .csv files are text files, and you ask a "32-bit hexadecimal number.  Can you give an example of what you are looking for?  My response assumes you have a 8 string that consists of the characters 0-9, A - F for catch the 4 bytes.  Maybe you are dealing with just 4 bytes that present themselves as ASCII characters in a text file.  In which case you wouldn't have one. CSV file.

    If the response of research/Split String is not useful to you, you will need to provide details about what you are looking for and also an example of your. CSV file.

  • How can I search using a word or phrase in the file?

    I can't find anything using windows 7. How can I search using the old option to find "a word or phrase in the file" when I don't know the file name, type, or location, as we could do in XP and all the previous versions?

    Hi rayf1967,

    I was back tonight, saw your post and tried a search in my .xls and .xlsx files.  They results were not as I suspected.  But now is a result of the work.

    I had left the 'files allow on this drive to have content indexed in addition to file properties' unchecked.  This means that my old index was sought but changes or new files were not included.  When finally, I went to properties and permit of indexation for the drive, I could search for .xls and .xlsx text files inside the cells and inside the text boxes.  I edited my last post to include this observation.

    Window 7 file & directory search success
    Yahoo! I finally successfully a text file for a search string.  Thank you Lisa and Thahaseena I have studied the links and then did some testing over a period of 5 hours.  FYI, I get using the old DOS commands in .bat files.  Understand the new search engine was much more difficult than learning a RegEx in the 1980s.

    1 CAUTION: The box of the property known as the disk:
    "Allow files on this disc have content indexed in addition to file properties"
    This check box controls the update of the data base of the index.  It must be checked to build or update an index that may be searched.
    You can select the entire disc or only a subset of records.
    For discs:
    RT-click file / properties
    For the records:
    RT-click File / Properties / General tab / advanced

    I correctly searched for file names and files with this box unchecked, but the results do not include the files created or edited since the last time the index was built or in other words since the indexing has been authorized.

    2. research in the files has N O T by default after my installation of W7.  My system keeps all the files on a non-system drive and that the drive did not appear in the search index settings. Fault of not Ms.

    3. research in the files REQUIRES that the drive/directories are specified:
    Set the locations:
    Control Panel/Indexing Options/change /-down and check any disk or dirs you want indexed.
    Set the file types you want to allow search inside:
    Panel of control/indexing options / Advanced Options/File Types/Index Properties and the content of the file - set as you wish
    The file types are grouped and there are filter categories they fall.
    Defining the .txt (plain text filter) to "Properties Index and contents of the file" will allow many other types of files to be indexed.  The same is true for .doc (Microsoft Office filter); This one will allow indexing for all Office files.
    My QuadCore 3 GHz/4 GB indexed to 2500 points per second.  I have let it run overnight on my drive of files I have about 3 hours to complete.

    4. read on "Windows Search Advanced Query Syntax" it can help you a lot.

    5 W7 will show what looks like a mistake/complaint at research suggesting that you change your settings for indexing.  This will happen even if you have defined the so ignore/disable it.
