Filter
The filter command allows you to control what files you see
in the Left or Right file panels.
There are three options:
+-------- Filter ---------+
| Select files to display |
| Custom: _ |
| [ ] Hidden files |
| [ ] Executable files | .--- .com, .exe, and
--------------------------| .bat files only
| [ Ok ] [ Cancel ] |
+-------------------------+
Custom
Custom allows you to supply a DOS wildcard pattern to select
which files you view.
[x] Hidden files
Check this box if you want to see hidden files (which appear
with a # between the name and extension).
[x] Executable files
Shows only program and batch files. Turn this option off if
you wish to see all files.
DOS Wildcard Characters
-----------------------
DOS file names have two parts: the name (which can be up to
8 characters) and the extension (which can be up to 3
characters) with a period in between. For example,
"filename.ext".
* Matches any characters for the rest of the name or
extension. "a*" will match "a", "ab", and "abc", as
well as many others. `*' applies just to one part of
the file name, so "a*" will not match "ab.c". Use
"a*.*" to find all files that start with `a' and have
any extension. (Note: "*a" will match any name, and
not just names with an `a' at the end as you might
expect.)
? Matches one character. So "a?" will match "a", "ab",
"ac", etc. "????" will match any name with up to four
characters, and "a*.??z" will match any file name
starting with `a' and ending with `z'.
