Is it possible to exclude file extensions?

Postby mchansy » Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:22 am

I have the problem that I have a directory tree with many different file types (.ini, .cfg, .xml, .txt, .cmd, .bat, ...). Is it possible to search over all files but exclude some file types (.exe, .dll, .doc)?

NO! UltraEdit currently does not support an exclude specification. In my favorite file manager Total Commander I can enter for a file search

*.*|*.exe;*.dll;*.doc

That means search for all files but ignore files with the extension exe, dll and doc. But UltraEdit does not support such an exclude/ignore filter specification. But that would be maybe a good idea for a feature request email to IDM support.

Edit: With UltraEdit v14.10 and later an exclude filter can be specified too.
