Regular Expressions in Filters?

Not sure if this has been posted, so apologies if it has.

What I would like to see on the filters/selections is a way to use regular expressions as well as wild cards. As an example, I would like to filter files like so:

Code: Select all

FileName_[0-9]+\.zip

This would select files like:

FileName_0.zip
FileName_37.zip
etc.

But not

FileName_a.zip
FileName_98b.zip
etc.

The above example is not the best, and there may be a way to specifically do the above already, but regex is so much more than the above.

Note: [x] Regular expression checkbox would be necessary.

If you were to do something like that, then maybe more generally, it could supersede Operation Masks.

Operation Masks

Some Altap Salamander operations, such as Copy, Move, or Rename, support entering of operation mask. Operation mask is appended behind the target path.
