Searching for multiple files at a time

[mczerski]

I need to check quite often if a package of several dozen files are on any of my disks. Do I have to search each of them separately, or is there an other way to search for all of them at a time? I could think of making a list of these files in a text file in which each file full path would be in a separate line or in another format in order to upload the text file to ET and have ET show files (if any) in the search results window. I operate a PC system with many external huge disks and such "trick" would greatly ease my job. I tried to find a relevant inspiration on your help pages and fora, but to no avail. If I overlooked some advice already posted, I do appologise for taking your time and will appreciate redirecting me to a valuable source of ET knowledge. I’ll be grateful for your advice as I have always appreciated your kind support and never have been disappointed with it . Marek

Please try a filelist: search.

For example:
filelist:"file1.txt|file2.txt|file3.txt|..."



Search for a list of filenames



For Everything 1.5, use the following easier syntax:
filelist:file1.txt;file2.txt;file3.txt;"file;with;semicolons.txt"



If you are searching for millions of filenames, please try file list slots.
