Feature request: case sensitive file name regex search #415

Closed ManuelSMA closed 1 year ago

ManuelSMA commented 1 year ago

Using the regex option for the file name field, the matches aren't case sensitive. I tried to prepend the "\l", but without success.

just use something like [Ff][Ii][Ll][Ee] Adding yet another option just for file name search, sorry, won't do.

Maybe I didn't understand it yet. If I try .*\.[L][O][G], I get results of both .log and .LOG. And if I try .*\.[l][o][g], I get the same results.

ah, you want case sensitive. Sorry, misread the title.

Anyway: Windows filesystems are case-insensitive, so it does not make sense to search case sensitive.

Thank you for your quick reply. For me, it would have been useful, but my case may really be too rare. I just found the file search tool "Everything", and I can use it side by side with grepwin. Thank you anyway for all the effort, I really appreciate.
