They always need, some day, to search a file or file on its computer. This file can be characterised by its name, its size, its date, its extension... Here are some options to speed research up. |
To search a file or file, having made a right click on the hard disk (to search in all computer) or on a definite file (to limit research to this file) then choose 'Search '.
A helper appears. He offers at first to choose the type of file to be searched. Click on the type of file if you the
connaisser otherwise go on 'All files and all files' to accomplish a general research.
Enter at first, the name or a part of the name of the file or file to be searched. It is even possible to point out a word or a sentence contained in the file.
Click then on 'Rechercher '. Results are displayed in the right part of the window.
Before throwing research with simply the name of the file as criterion, it is possible to specify research with other parametres.
Click on 'when has the last modification took place?' if you know last time when this file was changed, creates or uses.
With 'What is its size?', you can specify information on the size of the file.
In ' advanced Options ', there are other criteria as type of file, research in the hidden files, files system, sub-files, respect for breakage capital-tiny differentiation)...
Click finally on 'Rechercher ' when all required options were checked.
Character "* ", put in the name of a file or file to be searched, means "any character or piece of sentence in this site".
For example, research of: "r*.txt " will give all beginning text files by " r " as
rapport.txt, recu.txt
With "a*t.bmp ", they are going to search all beginning pictures by " an " and ending by " t ". They will have, for example,
arret.bmp, abricot.bmp
To search all files of some extension, it is enough to come back: "*.
extension". For example, "*.mp3", will search all files mp3...
If they enter "*. *", all files of any extension are searched in fact. It returns therefore to show all files and files of the computer.
