and... did you try that regex?
try this too
regex:"\.\D\D\D\D?\.\D\D\D\D?$". Sorry about that. It ignores digits, so it wont find mp3 or mp4 lol

or add

Code: Select all

folder:

Is it possible that explorer & everything runs with different privileges? (either one of them runs in Admin mode)?

[btw, the method mentioned above by @void works for me]

In my understanding, you want to find folders which has ONLY one child and its a FOLDER!, right?

If thats the case then, try

Code: Select all

childcount:1 childfoldercount:1

If not, please explain a little bit more, so some one else can help you with the query.

Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 (x64)

Confirmed. But it neither crashes, nor copies font file from Windows\Fonts folder.

Also there is no "Copy" context menu on font file.

btw, you didn't answer @void's question
does parent:c:\users list any results?

Try this
parent:"%userprofile%\Desktop" xls

but for this to work, we have to enable "Expand Environment Variables" [Edit: idk if its enabled by default or not]

Nice tutorial. Hats off to you!

vanisk

By the way, I have noticed that when saving a new filter under the name of an existing filter,
the existing filter is NOT overwritten and no warning appears.
However, I would have expected this, e.g. because the previous filter - under the same name - has to be deleted separately.

May need some tweaking

My example (& screenshot) may be a bad example. But my point is \Q..\E is working in Everything (as opposed to the title of this post).

The purpose of \Q...\E (in Everything Search) is beyond my knowledge.

Someone else will reply to that.

you are almost correct, but escape the . [Dot has special meaning in regex, so have to escape it]

Glad it worked. But it will not work if the ZWSP is in the beginning or at the end of line.

vanisk

As 200B is invisible character, even if EmEditor/Notepad++/others finds it and moves cursor to the position, We may not see the cursor.

So try this
.\x{200B}.

It will find 3 characters (but shows 2 characters) and the middle character is ZWSP. So you know where the Zerowidth Space is.

You are searching for all characters except 200B (Unicode Character 'ZERO WIDTH SPACE'). Its what everything did. (NOT 200B).

We can jump to misspelled words by using Control+M (forward direction, or Shift for backwards).

For correct spelling and not in dictionary word, we can either select Ignore All or Add it to dictionary.

vanisk

I'm lost now.....

I quite didn't understand your expectation. Did u mean, u want to list only misspelled words (hiding all others)? or you want to auto-correct them?

My bad :?:

In your question, u gave importance to (highlighted in red) .

It is not that hard to find out (btw i'm not a EmEditor user)... but anyway

On the right choose background color and text color accordingly.
