Maybe I am overlooking the solution, maybe it just isn't possible yet, I vainly searched for a solution for the following:
Example - whilst organizing files/folders.
In Explorer/Directory Opus, say I have a file name titled: file name xyz blah blah ... pdf
Based on the first part of that file I need to find -other- files and folders.
So, other files/folders starting with the first same characters, let's say first 10-12 characters or so.
My steps right now : 1) select file, 2) hit f2, 3)select fist words/characters, 4)ctrl-c, 5)escape, 6)paste clipboard in Everything search box.
Q: Would there be a command line instruction to do this (based on first 12 characters)?
(BTW - am facing the below issue on a very regular basis)
Thanks.
Search other files and folders based on first x characters of a given file name
Re: Search other files and folders based on first x characters of a given file name
regex:(.{12}) add-column:1 dupe:1
regex: = enable regular expressions.
( ) = capture group - Regular Expressions Match 1
.{12} = match 12 characters.
add-column:1 = show the captured text. (optional)
dupe:1 = find files with the same captured text.
