Search in folder name but ignore subfolders

[wasteland57]

I'm trying to search for files named TASK-* in any folder named "RECEIVED REQUESTS" but not in subfolders of "RECEIVED REQUESTS". Any way to do this? I can't get it to work. Thanks.

I think you need regular expressions for that:

Try searching for

regex:"^.*\\RECEIVED REQUESTS\\[^\\]*$" TASK-

(not tested ..)

Explanation: search for a folder "RECEIVED REQUESTS", preceded by anything and followed by anything but a "\" (which matche files in that folder, but not subdirectories). Encolde your regular expression in "" because your foldername hase a space in it.

Does the following search work for you:
"*RECEIVED REQUESTS\task-*"

Thanks, but those searches aren't returning anything.

Code: Select all

*\"RECEIVED REQUESTS" !\"RECEIVED REQUESTS"\*\* Task-*

In the Menu > Search only Everything should be selected. Disable all other options there (like Match Path, etc.)
