How do you combine an "Or" and an "And" search

Hello

What filter expression would I need to return, all file names that match any of these strings:

_01 _02 _03 _04 _25 _26 _27 _28
"this is an the 'or' part of the search"

plus
Those returned in the above search must all match "Trap"
"This is an ''and" search applied to the above returns.

Thank You

In 0.9.3 and below:
You cannot really do this as the filter always uses AND logic.

From 0.9.4:
To filter any of these (OR) you'd write:

Code: Select all

_01 _02 _03 _04 _25 _26 _27 _28
To also match all these against "Trap" (AND) you'd write:

Code: Select all

_01 _02 _03 _04 _25 _26 _27 _28 +Trap

Hi

The filter combines "or" and "and" in a single filter expression perfectly. Exactly as you typed it below.
_01 _02 _03 _04 _25 _26 _27 _28 +Trap

I got the returns I was hoping for.

I didn't mention to you that the string: "Trap" was in the folder name, so I enabled 'meta' metadata.
and set the following metadata options:
• File > File name without path
• Path > Path without file name.

It worked.

One thing I don't get is, it only works when I have 'ext' enabled.?
Extension plays no parts in the search??

Why must 'ext' be enabled?

Thank you.

That's clearly a bug or a wrongly labeled button (ref. 0.9.4 pre-release). Will fix that now.

Besides, we've got a bug tracker now at https://bugs.liqube.com

The file list filter prior to 0.9.4 was very basic and only does AND searches. Starting with 0.9.4 it works in an OR mode exclusively, however you can "+term" or "-term" to include or exclude something.

Details and examples here:
https://resonic.at/docs/file-list#filter

Keep in mind that the filter is not a full database search, rather it filters what is currently shown in the file list.

I'm thinking about adding regex to one of the next updates, or extended wildcards (with basic character classes). Meanwhile you could do this:

*_??*Trap*
or
*_??* +Trap

but it won't help with only finding the specific numbers you're after.

If I understand what you're trying to do, you basically want the filename to contain one of `_01 _02 _03 _04 _25 _26 _27 _28` and also contain `Trap`.

Something along the lines of:

`(_01|_02|_03|_04|_25|_26|_27|_28).*Trap`

Although the exact expression depends on what program you're using for the search. Some of them handle regex a little differently, so I'd check that part before relying on it.

If you let me know what you're using to do the search, I can probably give you the exact expression for it.
