How to list file which same folder than matched files ?

Post by ghost54770 »

Hello everyone

I have a folder with several subfolders. Each subfolder have several image files (image1.jpg, image2.jpg ... imagex.jpg) and a info.txt file.
How to list all "image1.jpg" which same folder than matched info.txt files (matched with content: function)
Also i not want to list matched info.txt

Any idea ?

Please try the sibling: search function in Everything 1.5.

sibling: will return files that are a sibling (share the same parent) of the specified filename.

For example:

*.jpg sibling:info.txt

I don't have a way to do this in Everything yet.

There's includefilelist:"c:\some\folder\info.txt"

However, this only works on a single info.txt at a time..

Without knowing the details (what is the structure of info.txt, what encoding, etc) a direction for a possible solution.
(not tested on paths with spaces in it; not tetsted on non-ascii characters):

Code: Select all

"c:\starting folder\"   F:=stringcount(UPPER(get_property($path:\info.txt,content)),UPPER($name:))   $F:>0
