Filter with Regex

It be possible to load files using regex (instead of only matching extensions)?    Ex: load all files that contains adagio or andante...

Re: Filter with Regex

Similarly, is it possible to load (and also select once loaded) files that match some attributes (like Rating) or metatag (like Bit Rate)?

Re: Filter with Regex

Hi and welcome, Cannelle.

Try 'Add Folders' > Browse to your folder > utilize 'Filter Settings' > Mask Include: *adagio*

Another way is to first add all files and then use

Also you can utilize WinExplorer > Search box *adagio* > View Details > select and drag&drop to ReNamer



HTH? big_smile

Re: Filter with Regex

Hi Stefan,
I found a way, by adding a rule that specifies the targeted files, marking only the modified files, and clearing all non marked.
But I think it would be more straightforward to allow regex as a filter.  Is this in the cards?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: Filter with Regex

I don't know if den4b will add or already have full RegEx support to filter files to include.

But as shown and linked, you can use
*adagio*;*andante*

in the filter mask to match files with
'adagio' or 'andante'
in their name.

I tried f.ex. with "*span*;*ger*" to load all files with Spanish or German in their name.

Re: Filter with Regex

Currently, include and exclude masks in the Filter Settings operate as wildcards.

RegEx based filtering can be implemented as an option, if there is a demand for it.
