Post by Debugger »

with regex:
^[^.]*$

^ = match start of filename
[^.] = match any character except .
* = match preceding element zero or more times (in this case any character except .)
$ = match end of filename.

It does not quite work as expected because it detects folders, and I only want files.

So just type what I said and you get only files without extensions

But I was asking about regex, because these unnecessary ext: it does not work with another program MasterSeeker!

files:regex:^[^.]*$
works fine in Everything and displays only files as the empty ext: does.
So its a problem in using Master Seeker and not a Everything topic at all.

without:regex:
without:ext:
without:other

simple ^[^.]*$

However, it works. Disable "Include Directories" :lol:
