Regex folder name filter
Last updated
Last updated
Regular expressions (shortened as regex or regexp) are patterns used to match character combinations in strings.
To use regex filter enclose search pattern in slashes: "/temp/, "/\d/".
For example you have folders generated by Media Encoder, it takes project name and attaches "_AME" to the end of it:
"Project_1_AME", "Project_2_AME", "Project_3_AME", etc
Instead of strictly defining name filter for each folder, you can set one regex filter:
"/_AME/"
/_ame/ — filter folder that has “_ame” in name: “project_ame”, “south_America”, “_amethyst"
/_ame$/ — filter folder that has “_ame” at the end of the name: “project_AME”
/^_ame/ —filter folder that has “_ame at the start if the name: “_amethyst"
/\d/ — filter folder that has any digit in name: “100_images”, “image_5_best”
