Regex $ problem

[yam001]

^ works fine but $ doesn't give any result.

According to the defn. $ Matches the ending position of the string or the position just before a string-ending newline. In line-based tools, it matches the ending position of any line.

So $dows should give windows as result but it doesn't

"Everything" is a line based tool.
$ matches the end of the line.
^ matches the start of the line.

To match the start of a word, try:

Code: Select all

([ ]+|^)dows

((Match one or more spaces OR the start of the line) before dows).

Well after reading more i found that i have to put $ at the end of search string.

So to find files/dirs ending with "dows" use dows$.

I think these regex examples should be included in the help file.
