I would like to search files by their content in Total Commander so I want to create a regex, but I cannot find any manual where it would really be explained. My situation is that I need something like this:
fileContains("<html>") && fileContains("{myVariable1}") && fileNotContains("<script>")
I can write cca this:
(<html>)+
({myVariable1})+
(<script>){0} ... but this does not work for me
And I cannot put it all together. Any ideas, please? Or do you have a link to an excellent regex explanation?
try this regex:
it's just 3 lookaheads in a row. one of those is a negative lookahead. Note the "single line" modifier to enable 'dot matches newline'.
edit (per comment): I guess Total Commander's regex engine does not support lookarounds at all. While you could combine two positive lookaheads into an equivalent 'consuming' pattern with something like this untested regex:
(.*(\{myVariable1\}|<html>)){2}, you cannot include the 'negated search' within a single regex unless you have a legitimate regex engine.You could try this Total Commander regex plug-in:
