[2late]

hi everyone
how to find non English and Arabic names using Regex ?
English characters:

Code: Select all

[\u0000-\u007F]+

Arabic characters:

Code: Select all

[\u0600-\u06FF]+

non English

(what I call, "non-ascii") regex:[^\x00-\x7f]

regex: How to find €

thanks but help me to understand, please:
why [^\x00-\x7f] can ignore English but [\x00-\x7f] doesn't only match English but also other languages?

The key to understand the answer is to enable in Everything:
Options > View > [v] Show highlighted search terms

But currently, this important feature doesn't work (or more right to say - disabled ) for items with RTL text...
I hope we will get a fix, as sooner as possible.

But I won't let you wait till then. I also can't see the highlighting, but it seems it is due to "digits" and "space".
