searching multiple words

Post by FredSmith »

Hi all,
I'd like search for multiple words.
So if I have 3 files:
File1
One

File2
One
...
Two

File3
One
...
Two
Three

And would like to search for files containing 'One' AND 'Two' AND 'Three'
I'd like TextCrawler to return File3 only.

I've tried using RegEx One|Two|Three but that returned all the file.
I'm interested in the fily that contains all the words that I'm searching for.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

It's tricky to do this with regular expressions. You can try-

one.*two.*three.*
(With dot matches newline enabled)

but the words need to be in that order in the file.

Hi I have the same need as this post. I tried what I found here, but didn't work.

Version 3.1.1 will have a feature to allow the batch processor to run in "AND" mode. This means that only files where all the search terms are hit will be displayed/updated.
