How can I use Everything to find all files with a full stop in their name?
For example there may be a file called this:
Mister X. and his wife.doc
I have tried using
file:"."
but it doesn't work.
How find files with full stop in the name?
Re: How find files with full stop in the name?
Please try searching for:
file:*.*.*
This will find files with two dots in the filename. Including the dot for the extension.

I had thought file: referred only to the part before the separator and extension. It seems not.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I've put on my TODO list: add a namepart: modifier.

FWIW:
The current $namepart() (used in Menu:Tools > Options > General > Context Menu) exists of basename + extension, like somefile.txt.
The curent namepartdupe: function searches for files/folders with the same basename. like somefil.txt and somefile.ini

That's a bug, it should be the name part only, eg: somefileThe current $namepart() (used in Menu:Tools > Options > General > Context Menu) exists of basename + extension, like somefile.txt.
I've fixed this for the next version of Everything.
