select file in explorer

[Noam]

Instead of "Open Containing Folder in Explorer", you can have the file selected:
explorer.exe /select,FILENAME

Explorer will open the containing folder and select the file. AFAIK, this works since Windows 95.

Good tip - will try this thanks

TextCrawler is great. I'm still hoping for a feature that lets me copy selected found files to another folder for further treatment or to delete them.
In combination with RegExps that would be very powerful.

Will look into the copy found files feature, thanks.

Thank you very much for implementing copying selected files in 2.0 beta! It is a big help for me.

You probably have lots of other stuff to do, but deleting marked or selected files would also be useful, for RegExps are not good in negative searches, e.g. all files that do not contain the string "404 File not found".

[Frank]

A better example for files you wish to delete would be all files that do not contain /some useful pattern/

Adding Move/Delete options to the 'Copy' window will help with this. You can now select to view only the 'no match' files in the results window (see view menu) - good for negative searches.

I'm still very happy with TextCrawler (just discovered Batch Commands for me )

But could you please look into this delete/move file option again?
Right now, I have to copy thousands of files that I do not want to delete to a new folder, then delete the original folder, than rename the new one. And with that many files I could easily make an error. So it would provide quite some comfort if I could just (re)move my garbagefiles in more direct a manner.

Frank - sorry I missed the delete/move option out of this update. It's on the to-do list now, and is the next priority!
