.... in Nautilus.

While using Nautilus, have you ever wished to be able to select a specified range of files without to Ctrl+Click each one?

Well, this is easily possible, all you need to do is to press Ctrl+S in a Nautilus Window

(or the Desktop, if Nautilus is used to draw it) and then insert the expression and you're done.

Examples:

a) select all mp3 files:

insert: *.mp3

* is a wildcard meaning anything, endless times (eg matches 1.mp3 aswell as example1245.mp3)

b) select all files containing linux:

insert: *linux*

c) select everyhing which' name is only 3 chars:

insert: ???

? is a wildcard meaning anything one time (eg matches a but not a.mp3)

d) insert >> ???-example*.mp3

Regexes like *(.mp3|.ogg) are not working, though.

Have Fun!
