How to quickly add all many names to regex?
Every time I have to save all the names (Total Commander) and edit the text file as a regex. And how to make it easier, faster?
The file are in the folder

the list is too big, and as I read, it will not work correctly in Everything. So I want to do it in MasterSeeker, here regex has unlimited value

Too big - how many?
Are you using the current version of Everything?

Search for a large list of file names in Everything works best with the "Search for a list of file names" in advanced search:
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Advanced Search....
- Scroll down to Search for a list of file names.
- Click Browse....
- Select your list of file names and click Open.
- Click OK.
The list should be a txt filename with one filename per line.
Include a backslash (\) to search for full path and filename (otherwise just the filename without the path is searched).
For example, filenames.txt:
Code: Select all
file 01.txt
file 02.txt
autoexec.bat
config.sys
There is no limit on the size of regex searches in Everything.
There is a display limit of 4000 characters in the Search edit, maybe you are hitting this? Even though the text may not render, Everything should still function correctly.

I have files, but they contain additional sorting in the form number#originalfilename.jpg
So how do you add it? The original location for disk search contains only the original file names.
