FindInFile patterns
« on: August 15, 2017, 08:53:28 PM »
In BigFind -> Find In Files
Case 1:
   In LookIn, I can enter
      C:\foo\bar\*.py

   and Find will search for *.py files in C:\foo\bar

Case 2:
   In LookIn if I enter
      <Current Buffer Directory>\*.py

   Then Find won't search in the CBD for *.py files. I'm not sure what it does.


#1: If case 1 works, why doesn't case 2 work?

#2: If case 2 doesn't work, Slick should give an error.



Case 1 is pretty handy. Its even possible to do different patterns with different paths:
   C:\Foo\*.CPP;C:\Bar\*.H
And it will match *.CPP files only under Foo, and *.H files only under Bar.
