How to select paired files and exclude non-paired ones?

Such as in filelists of
aaa.eng.txt
aaa.cn.txt
abb.eng.txt
bbb.eng.txt
bbb.cn.txt
ccc.cn.txt
...



choose only:
aaa.eng.txt
aaa.cn.txt
bbb.eng.txt
bbb.cn.txt
***.eng.txt
***.cn.txt

Unfortunately, It is currently not possible to do this within Everything.
Everything only compares a single filename at a time.

You could try exporting all results (File -> Export) to a txt file and running a third party regex... (grep for windows?)

Try the regex expression over the entire txt file with something like:

Code: Select all

(.*)[.]eng[.]txt.*\1[.]cn[.]txt
