having problem with multiple word search

Post by sanpatel2 »

I have many text files in several folders. I am trying to search multiple words but it returns with no match found.
I have done this in the past and it worked fine.
For an example: Say I have a file that contain Pass, Fail, PWA1SN, PWA2SN etc..

I type PASS|FAIL|PWA1SN|PWA2SN in the find field under standard tab. This does not work. If I search for one word individually, it works.

How can I search for all 4 words? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You need to use the Regular Expression tab to search in this way, not the standard tab.
