I'm still learning regex.

[E-Z]:\\FB\s<!Listy !"Postcrossing 312" !Numizmatyka !Открытки>

something like this will work! (I guess)

Unfortunately, this does not work for PATH name combinations.
This must include all paths with the initial name "FB" as well as exclude selected names with the initial name "FB".
include everything with the initial name "FB" (search for everything) except selected names.

For Testing purposes, I created sample folders and ran

regex:^[E-Z]:\\FB\s

After adding exclude list
regex:^[E-Z]:\\FB\s<!Listy !"Postcrossing 312" !Numizmatyka !Открытки>

RELULAR EXPRESSION TOTALLY INCORRECT. :x

Then perhaps write the regex yourself because it also works for me.

First of all, you do NOT even have the regex he posted above correctly typed in your screenshot, and I see NUMEROUS questions posted from you over the last couple months then accosting either this tool author who has graciously provided you this FREE tool (that you clearly are struggling to operate) or worse yet the very people trying to come to your aid and help you understand.

You posted in another thread that the author was flat out wrong about something as widely known as path lengths without clearly taking the time to read his actual answer of "the SHELL is limited....".

I just fail to understand why you would troll the void forums posting questions to then get upset and argue with every single answer (I have yet to see one you did NOT argue with).

Regex works in this case, as stated above.

@collinchaffin, Thanks for the reply.

Actually my regex is kinda wrong, as it DID exclude the mentioned folder, BUT it listed files from the excluded folder. Thats why i didn't reply (as i don't have a clue, whats wrong or how to modify the regex)

Please try searching for:
regex:"^[E-Z]:\\FB (?!(Listy\\|Postcrossing 312\\|Numizmatyka\\|Открытки\\))"

And if you want to exclude the folders themselves:

regex:"^[E-Z]:\\FB (?!Listy(\\|$)|Postcrossing 312(\\|$)|Numizmatyka(\\|$)|Открытки(\\|$))"
