[help] finding files with duplicate name across folders
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2024 7:54 pm
I create thousands of project files that get a unique 10 character ID (filename) plus extension. They are supposed to be filed in the address for that project. Sometimes, accidentally, I duplicate that unique ID into another address.
How could i use voidtools to find these files that are duplicated into different folders and not show me files that only exist once ?
There are too many files to uniquely enter each id and manually verify. I can easily use voidtools to filter by that extension and restrict matches to file names that are 10 characters long.Example: - address is also folder name -
- (A) 123 Main St has file 1201D01234
- (B) 456 Fourth St has file 1598D55555
I want to present only (A) and (C)
- (C) 9987 Fortune Ave has file 1201D01234 = same ID as (A)
