Content regex question

[PeterPanino]

Hello!

I am trying to create a content regex which can find files containing ANY of these two lines:



Both of these expressions do work on their own:

Code: Select all

content:"procedure LoadFrom"

Code: Select all

content:"function LoadFrom"

However, this expression does not work:

Code: Select all

content:"procedure|function.+LoadFrom"

Why not? Which expression can find any of the above lines?

I suspected "regex:" needed to be in there somewhere, & "Running" through the Advanced Search GUI, with Name "ncmain.exe" & your regex: gave:

> ncmain.exeregex:"procedure|function.+LoadFrom"

(which does look odd to me, no space ?) so maybe you need to finagle regex: into your content: search, like (& I don't know if its right, but):

> content:regex:"procedure|function.+LoadFrom"

Thanks, but unfortunately this does not work.
