The File Searching function is to convert lots of files located in a folder-tree. For example, you may use the search function to find out all HTML-based files inside a folder. Then, let Unifier to convert them.
Overview
The File Searching Function is a modeless dialog box. You may specify Include Filter and Exclude Filter to search files inside a folder. You may also save the setting so that you may re-use it easily.
Include Filter and Exclude Filter
The Exclude Filter overrides the Include Filter. If a filename matches both filter, the file will not be found. You may use wildcard character * and ? to specify the filters. Use | character to separate different filters.
For example,
*.htm|*.html|*.php
Match all files with htm, html or php file extensions
S?.txt
Match the following files: s1.txt sa.txt ss.txt
For more advanced matching, you may use Regular Expression to specify the filter.
Sample Scenario
To convert all files with file extension htm, html, php and asp in folder c:\website and its sub-folder, you may setup the search filter as follows. Then, click Find button.
In this case, 19 files are found. Then, you may click Add to Source File List button to add those files to Unifier.
Saved Search
You may save the commonly used search criteria by clicking the Save Button.
After that, you need to give the search criteria a name. If Include Folder to Search option is enabled, the specified folder and other filter settings are saved. Otherwise, only filter settings are saved. Every time you select the saved search, all saved setting are restored.
