Finding partial name duplicates

[harryray2]

When searching for name duplicates I sometimes have to find just a part of the name.

For example with imtranslator_translator_dictionary_tts-16.7-fx.xpi
I would just like to find if the imtranslator_translator_dictionary part of the name has been duplicated (same file name, different version number)

Is this possible?

thanks.

Sounds something like, ignore: fuction (RFE).
(& from "ancient" times , seg$(), How to search dupes in the first X characters of the name?)

Please try the following search:

regex:^(.*)-.*$ dupe:regmatch1

Files with the same text matched inside (.*) are shown in the results.

Again, just noticed this reply.

regex:^(.*)-.*$ dupe:regmatch1

Files with the same text matched inside (.*) are shown in the results

Apologies, I'm being dense..Where would the text go?

If you would like to view the captured regex text, please add the Regular expression match 1 column:


regex:^(.*)-.*$ dupe:regmatch1 addcolumn:regmatch1

Thanks David, is this correct?

regex:^(.*)-.*$ dupe:regmatch1 addcolumn:regmatch1 imtra

[void]

Regex is being greedy with: -

Please try:

regex:^([^-]*)-.*$ dupe:regmatch1 addcolumn:regmatch1 imtra

[harryray2]

That doesn't seem to work, it shows all results with imtra in, rather than just the duplicates.

But, regex:^(.*)-.*$ dupe:regmatch1 addcolumn:regmatch1 imtra, does seem to work, I'll experiment further.
