Question

there is a windows program that supports Regular Expression (or Dos Expression) for search files.

(MythicSoft’s FileLocator Pro)

it supports wildcards such as * ?
i want to find only 4 characters file names with jpg format
how can i write a phrase for that?
this phrase (????.jpg) finds all lower and upper cases.(i put it’s mode to dos expression)
also this phrase ([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z].jpg) Does not work!(i put it’s mode to regular expression)

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Online documentation shows that FileLocator Pro uses Perl compatible regular expressions, in which case, this should work:

^([A-Z]{4}\.jpg)$

The parentheses make the whole thing a capture group. If you don’t need the capture group, just remove the parentheses.

Edit:

Make sure that the case sensitive option is on for regular expressions. Go to the online documentation and search for regular expression case sensitive. It appears to be explained there. It says ‘To make the content search case sensitive click the ‘Aa’ buttons’
