Utilities/Find
Quite a regular

Hi,

Using the default Find tool that comes with OS 4.1+ I am trying to get the syntax to pattern match not just one file extension, but multiple with no luck.
Anyone got this to work?

Examples that don't work for me:

find name "#?.jpg|#?.png" dirs images:
find name #?.jpg|#?.png" dirs images:
find name "#?.jpg" | "#?.png" dirs images:
find name "#?.jpg" name "#?.png" dirs images:

Use parenthesis, like this:
find name "(#?.jpg|#?.png)" dirs images:

#?.(jpg|png)

less typing and more obvious that it's the extension which is important.

Fits perfectly into my Jack application with little effort, seems I pre-empted correctly early on how I was gonna make the best use of Find at a later date.

Seems the pattern matching in AmigaOS is quite flexible.... I can do this for example:

holiday#?.(png|jpg|gif|ilbm|lbm|iff|pcx|tiff|jpeg)

and it just works!

Actually I have quick question.

Does every hard disk or partition have its own .recycled directory?

I am guessing the answer is Yes?

No, it's a feature introduced by SFS and supported by JXFS as well. FFS partitions don't have such a directory for example.

What I mean is can there be multiple instances of .recycled? Or is there just one main .recycled repository existing on one device?

There's one .recycled directory per partition (providing the filesystem supports it). I hope I understood your question.

That's not true. The function first appeared in AFS (AmiFileSave), the predecessor of PFS. SFS just copied it with another name (AFS called it .deldir).

Now all we want is for Find to remember directories one adds.

When you use the button "Add Path", the added path is only temporary. When you exit the program and restart, the added path has gone.

It would be great if we could add our favourite paths to tooltypes and keep them for next time. For instance, I would add SDK:Documentation/Autodocs/ and SDK:include/include_h/.

cheers
