Search a catalog for a specific string in filenames,
« on: December 28, 2019, 05:45:15 PM »
Can this be done with filters and if so how? Have tried variations of custom search which will find text strings but not specifically confined to filenames.

I have used Quick Search with:
Filename = "mytext"

and it finds files like  2019_xyzmytext_landscape.DNG

I haven't tried anything more sophisticated than something like that. YMMV

Thanks, I was having trouble figuring out just how to write that expression. I was using "contains" in the expression and playing with wildcards (*) as place holders. Never though of just using "=".
