  • You want to search ONLY the names of files in the Explorer of Windows 7?

    I want to usually just looking for a word "in a file name& record' - and can often give a date of the range. In the Explorer of Windows 7, as soon as I type the word, I get all the files that contain the word in the content, as well.  How can I have search only the file or folder name?

    I also don't use 'my documents' or 'libraries '... I create my own subfolders - and usually on a stick... disc so I don't really understand "crawler" or if it is relevant to how I organize my files.

    I miss the Windows XP search feature in the Explorer of Windows 7!

    No need for anything that it is complicated.  Simply type what you are looking for.  If it's in the name of the file, these results will be returned first, above all results corresponding to your searchinside of the file term.  Easy.

    Without indexing places such as stick readers can always be sought, but take a little more time looking for (like XP).

  • Search by file name only in Windows 7

    How I just search for the contents of the file or folder name - when I search currently I receive hundreds of files and that he will eventually do a manual search - why windows 7 changed from windows Xp?

    You can enter this in the search box

    name of the file:

    for example

    filename:elephant

    or

    Try using SearchMyFiles instead of Windows search - an Alternative to search files from Windows + duplicates search instead.  The download link is near the bottom of the page, just above the table of foreign language version.

    SearchMyFiles may be added to the context menu of Windows Explorer to make it easy to start.  His search folder then has the current folder already entered in it.  To configure this, look in the main window of the Options menu & select the last entry in the Explorer context menu.

  • How do you search a file name with parenthesis in there?

    Received a ton of files with duplicates, I need to delete.

    All the duplicate files end with '(1)' in the file name, for example: FilenameTest (1) .pdf

    I would like to find all files with '(1)' in the name of the file and then delete them, but spotlight search no parenthesis. This seems to be a documented problem (bug?). Is there a syntax or other workaround to force the spotlight to return a search with the bracket?

    Thanks in advance.

    The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run the following exactly as shown:

    Tell application "Finder".

    Remove (each point of (choose folder) whose name contains '(1)')

    tell the end

  • search for file names with tilde character

    trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.

    You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

  • The search for file names with a tilde ("" ~ ")

    In Windows Explorer, how can I search for filenames containing a tilde? I tried the name: ~, but this seems to find all the files. I tried going to ADVANCED search and specifying, ~ * ~ *, ' ~ ', etc. and he always seems to find all files. "It's a drag, since all these tilde files are probably temporary which can be deleted.

  • Search for files by name, date range, size, content, etc.

    I just changed from windows XP pro to win 7 pro 64.  For twenty years, I used the "Norton File Manager" who does not work under Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I became dependent on its ability to search relatively sophisticated as by date range, size, content, name, etc.  I guess that Windows 7 has something like this, but I'm not.  Can you help me?

    I recommend two different third-party search programs, both free:

    1. search everything, which is faster if you search by file name
    (http://www.voidtools.com/)

    2. agent Ransack, which is the best for finding content, etc.

  • Why can not only search for files that begin with a particular character or Word?

    We have always been able to do in previous versions of Windows by typing: S *. *

    In Windows 7 If this is something that has a ' anywhere in the file path or name.

    As you have discovered, Windows indexes now better informed than before. So what was once a file name filter is now a search through file names, content and more - a bit like a search engine.

    If a search for S. * may train with aSunday Slippery Slopes.docx or Fans.jpg C:\ path.

    Fortunately, you can precede your search term with the domain that you particularly interested. For example, try System.FileName: ~<> or filename:F *. *

  • Adding keywords to a subject causes the search return the names of file instead of topic titles

    When I search for a term in my WebHelp Pro project, matching topics are displayed by filename if the subject has anything in its properties > General > keywords field, and are presented by topic title if there is no defined keywords for the subject.

    I confirmed this behavior by adding and deleting keywords from subjects and looking alternately to be shown in the search by file name or title of the topic.

    Obviously, I want stories to be displayed by topic titles in search results no matter whether they have keywords assigned or not.

    Any idea of what this could be the cause? Is this a known bug?

    Here is some additional information. This problem occurs, these four conditions must be met:

    1. The subject must have manually added keywords in properties > general > keywords field.
    2. The title of the topic and the name of the file must be different.
    3. We have to search among keywords added in step 1.
    4. Occurs in WebHelp Pro when published to a remote server.

    Interviews with Adobe today are not conclusive, but it seems that it was an unknown bug. Maybe I'll get a free t-shirt or something.

    Hi Rocky,

    Journal on Robohelp Configuration Manager.

    Uncheck the option "re-indexing of documents to the server.

    Republish and check. If the problem exists, try to restart the Apache/Tomcat server.

    This should work for you.

  • How can I search only for Word 2003 document.doc files

    When you enter type in the search box, it returns all Word documents.  How can I specify only the documents in the old format 2003 * .doc?

    Thanks in advance.

    file name: ~ ".doc".

    The : ~ means "must be exact" (if you used just filename: ".doc" without the ~, he would always find the docx for example).

    The * is just a joker and can be used on any version of Windows or DOS.

  • Write to the worksheet only if the file name is different

    Hi all

    I'm trying to write some code, but to no avail. Basically I have a file name to each time interval (say 2 seconds). I built a small table for example.

    The names of files in the table are repetitive and I don't want to write the data in the worksheet, if the file name is the same.

    Bascially, I need to write the header and the table for the 1 c:\1.txt files and after c:\1.txt the data (more than 3) I want to only write the table only (no header) and add it to the worksheet.

    That is to say for c:\1.txt file, it will consist of 1 header and 4 sets of table.

    Then the process is repeated again until a newfilename (c:\2.txt) is encountered.

    c:\2.txt will also include 1 header and 4 sets of data.

    Can anyone help on this?

    Your loop is you allowing to read beyond the end of file names in your table. This passes an empty file name write it on the spreadsheet VI which requires to ask the name of the file. You should test this condition.

  • Only files tif over a certain length (60 characters): cannot open, delete, find, change of name or anything like that

    Only files tif over a certain length (60 characters):
    I cannot open/view the with any application, cannot be deleted and can not even the name of the file to allow me to try to shorten the name. I can't copy the files or move them from their current folder.  What is going on? These are files that I saved last year. (I don't remember if I tried to open them before.) My computer is a laptop HP DV 6000 series, Media Center Edition Windows XP with ServicePak 3.

    There is a fundamental limitation in Windows that the total length of a file, including the path name cannot exceed 255 characters.  It is possible that the total path to your .tif files is something long like:
    C:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Photos\MySummerVacationLastYear\BigFileName.tif Settings\nom
    and the total number of characters in all of this is greater than 255.

    There are two ways you can deal with that.  Use the command "SUBST" alias drive letter to the folder that contains your files.  To do this, open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter a command such as (to borrow the above, for example):

    SUBST M: "C::\Documents and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Mes Photos\MySummerVacationLastYear.

    Where "M:" is a unused drive letter and the rest is the path to the folder that contains your files.  You can now access your file using:
    M:\BigFileName.tif
    Who have significantly fewer characters in the path of your original file and allow you to access.

    A second approach is to create a folder at the root of your hard drive (for example C:\Pics) and then copy your files into this folder.  Not just any copy program can handle long copy paths (as you have discovered), but can "Robocopy" (robust copy).  You can get Robocopy without the resource Windows Server 2003 on the Microsoft Download site Kit
       <>http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=17657 >
    After copying the files, it will be a much shorter and more accessible way.  Robocopy is a command line program and must be run from a command prompt window.
    Otherwise, you might be able to move the folder containing these images in this directory at root level.
