[Old Thread] Adding new column to sort by filename

[transmitthis]

Oh - cool, was thinking I may end up axing some I wanted to keep - Namely the ones that are short, 2001: A Space Odyssey for example.

While a length listing would be most beneficial, I managed to find all subtitled ones by putting this in the main search window
title:"~(: .*)"

Then I can manually Ctr select the larger ones for treatment

You might try using Quantifiers: {12,} after the wild card.
(this one says 12 or more)

Quantifiers - no one told me about Quantifiers....

Sorry The Ducks, I still know too little about Python, to try your suggestion, as you didn't provide a specific example.
IN search and repalce
: .* - works replaces all with :

: .*{12,} - error
: .{12,}* - error
: .*12,


Main search
title:"~(: .*)" - Works matches all with :

title:"~(: .*{12,})" no matches
title:"~(: .*){12,}" no matches

I did try, but you need to give the actuall expression

[theducks]

PCRE might not like a total wildcard pattern used with quantifiers.
This Quantifier replaces the + or *

(123){4,} should find 4 or more repetitions of '123'

No idea what you said , you been at the catnip again, didn't the vet warn you about that?


Anyway all done, file lengths now all within small enough parameters, to allow me to move library deeper into my system

thanks Dwanthny'N'Ducks ...... wait for it....

What I was trying to say is the range replaces the star or plus (that is after the dot in your case).
