File skeleton view in Windows Explorer?

[wilfranz]

Hello friends,

Is there any way to request that WinExpl list only those files conforming to a particular file skeleton?

TIA

Not in Explorer, but you can use the Search or Find files feature.

I would in the alternative use Agent Ransack:

Your selection masking becomes very sophisticated.

Thanks for the prompt reply, bcastner

I do in fact use AgentRansack, and I love it. A day doesn't go by without using it.

Too bad Windows doesn't have something comparable. It's one of those functions we lost with the demise of DOS and the old DIR command.

I am with you. I love Agent Ransack, and there is not a hack or trick to make the native XP search as comparable.

Best,
