Find in Files

Post by IdeasVacuum »

PB 5.31 32bit, Win 7 x86

In the Find in Files dialog you can enter "Extension filters:". However, the filter fails if it has more than one extension thus:

*.pbi; *.pb

Do I have the syntax wrong?

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

It seems that it should look like this:

*.pbi,*.pb
(see near the end of this page in the Reference Manual).

Yes, as Little John said, it does work as expected if you use a comma instead of a semi-colon to separate file extensions.
But, to make things even simpler, use    *.pb*    to search through all PB filetypes.
