Pascal case easy search

Post by newtonr »

I would like to be able to search for files name in pascal case easily by the capital letters. Say I have a file named ReallyBigFileName.cs, I would like to put in the search term RBFN and have it match, ideally substrings would also match, so RBN would also be a match.

CodeRush supports this feature in its file search and I find it very useful.

Enable, Search -> Match Case

Then use the search term, 'R B F N'.
If they are always .cs files, you could use something like ''R B F N .cs'.

If Search -> Match Case doesn't exist in your version of Everything, update to "Everything" version 1.2.1.451a.

Its half there but still doesn't quite do what I'd like.

One problem with it is that your method doesn't take into account the order of the letters so gives lots of false positive matches, so if I had a file called BigReportForNic.cs, ''R B F N .cs' still matches it.

It would be nice not to have to enable match case or type the spaces in as well.
