regex to match before extension

[redwood]

Hello, I want to search for files that contain both Arabic and English characters in any order in base name. I use a pattern but the problem is that it will match the extension as English characters as well. I need to match my string in any order and ignore extension

Arabic English.ext

regex:(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?=.[*\x{0600}-\x{06ff}])

[void]

Please try the following:

regex:"([a-zA-Z].*[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}]|[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}].*[a-zA-Z]).*\.[^.]*$"

-or-

regex:[a-zA-Z].*[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}].*\.[^.]*$ | regex:[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}].*[a-zA-Z].*\.[^.]*$



For files that don't have an extension (maybe you want folders?), please try:

regex:"([a-zA-Z].*[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}]|[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}].*[a-zA-Z])(.*\.[^.]*|[^.]*)$"

I really appreciate this help and thank you very much.
each of them works well.

If you are using Everything 1.5, this can be done even simpler:

Code: Select all

regex:stem:[a-z]  regex:stem:[\x{0600}-\x{06ff}]

regex in Everything is case-insensitive, so [a-z] will also match A-Z


(untested, btw)

this is even better. finds files and folders without worrying about the extension. thank you!
