[Solved] Enable Regex vs. regex:

[NotNull]

If I enable regular expressions ( Menu:Search > Enable Regex), with this query I can get a list of all (397) files/folders on my system that start with either "test" or "text" :

Code: Select all

^te(s|x)t

If I disable regular expressions, and enter this query:

Code: Select all

regex:^te(s|x)t

I get zero results.
Why is that?

BTW: a search for ^te[sx]t will give me the expected results in both situations.

You should escape | with ":

Code: Select all

regex:^te(s"|"x)t

Ah , yes, of course!
Thanks!

I think functions need 3 signs:
One before the function, to inform about writing a function (the results list won't be affected by writing the function name),
And two signs after the function name, to open and close.
/function()
/function<>
