way to ignore file prefix and/or suffixes

Post by markm9999 »

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a way within the file specification to ignore file prefix and/or suffixes?

I'm not necessarily looking for them to have the same content.

EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT PREFIXES
  • 01. some_data_file.txt
    09 - some_data_file.txt
Extending this further, these 2 folders would be identified as "Duplicate Folders" because of the ignored PREFIX:
  • 01. some_data_file_1.txt
    02. some_data_file_2.txt
    03. some_data_file_3.txt

    and

    01 - some_data_file_1.txt
    02_some_data_file_2.txt
    03 -- some_data_file_3.txt

Not currently - "Similar files" may help, though it might include other unintended names in the group.
