Search for all extensionless files?
Is this possible?
Re: Search for all extensionless files?
ext:
(Actually, what that does is to find files without "dots".
A file name like, "zlib_1.2_dll" is not "extensionless".
The "extension" is "2_dll", so is not found.)
(There is something else, but off the top of my head, I'm not remembering.)
(Oh, & searching for ext:, sorted by size, very quickly found me two files that should of had an extension but did not.)

Thanks!
No worries, the "ext:" found the files I was looking for.

Another way is to search for:
!.
! = NOT
!.
! = NOT

Thanks.
Not sure if I should open a different thread but had a different question. How do I search for videos with "!" exclamation points? When I put in an exclamation point in the search it clears everything out.

Use double quotes to escape !
"!"
! only means NOT when it is the first character.

To be precise and to not have to be forced to use also a Filter that would remove folders from the list of shown items: in order to find extensionless files user has to look for
Code: Select all
file:!.
