Find in Files filter, include AND exclude combined

[Jason Carlton]

When using Find in Files, I would like to have a filter that will tell it to scan PHP, JS, CSS, CGI, and LIB, but ignore anything in the “backup” directory.

I thought this would work, but it doesn’t:

*.php *.js *.css *.cgi *.lib !*backup

I’m guessing that this assumes that these are all “OR” delimited. So then I tried these:

!*backup && (*.php *.js *.css *.cgi *.lib)
!*backup* && (*.php *.js *.css *.cgi *.lib)

but it still returned files that were in the backup directory.

Any other suggestions?

Did you read the online manual about the specific requirements of this tab? Try looking at this section of the manual. Ver 8.2 and better will allow what you need, but you must define it correctly.
