Ultra File Search - File Search Utility
File Name - defines File(s) Name(s) to search.
It's possible to specify the File Name in two modes: "Simple Text" and "Wildcards Mask".
"Simple Text" Mode
In "Simple Text" Mode simply type the Name or part of the file name to search for.
If the name is composed of several words you can use the characters:
' ' (space), '*' (asterisk) and '?' (question mark) to separate the words.
In this mode will find File Names that contain the specified word(s) in any order.
(e.g. 'Word1 Word2' find 'Word1 Word2' and 'Word2 Word1' and 'Word0 Word2 Word1' and so on)
The File Name may consist of several "Simple Texts".
To specify several "Simple Texts" separate the Texts with any of the following characters:
'\' (backslash), '/' (slash), ':' (colon), '"' (quotation mark), '<' (less-than), '>' (greater-than), '|' (pipe)
(e.g. 'SimpleText1:SimpleText2"SimpleTextN' or 'SimpleText1:SimpleText2|SimpleText3|SimpleTextN')
"Wildcards Mask" Mode
Filename wildcards (* and ?) can be used to specify Files to be searched.
'*' (asterisk) – corresponds to any group of characters in the Filename
(e.g. '*.txt' find all files that have .txt extension)
'?' (question mark) – corresponds to any character in the Filename
(e.g. 'Name?.txt' find 'Name1.txt' and 'Name2.txt' and 'NameN.txt' etc.)
Various combinations of wildcards can be used (e.g. 'Name??.*' or '*.tx?')
A "Wildcards Mask" may consist of several words and wildcards.
(e.g. 'Word1 Word2.*' or 'Word1?Word2.d*' or 'Word1?Word2*Word3.t??')
The File Name may consist of several "Wildcards Mask".
To specify several "Wildcards Mask" separate the Mask with any of the following characters:
'\' (backslash), '/' (slash), ':' (colon), '"' (quotation mark), '<' (less-than), '>' (greater-than), '|' (pipe)
(e.g. 'WildcardsMask1:WildcardsMask2"WildcardsMaskN' or 'WildcardsMask1|WildcardsMask2')
Note: The characters used to separate "Simple Texts" and "Wildcards Mask" are those invalid for the
File Names, except '*' and '?' used by "Wildcards Mask"
Search Path - defines Folder or Drive where to search Files.
To specify multiple Drives and/or Folders separate them with the Character: '|' (pipe)
(e.g. 'Folder1|Folder2|FolderN' or 'Drive1|Drive2|DriveN' or 'Drive1|Folder1|DriveN|FolderN' )
