What's new in TextConverter Basic 24.3.4
Mar 4, 2024
- Multiple search terms for the name can now be defined by separating the individual search terms with the character / (for example "name1/name2"). Also multiple file extensions can now be separated with the same character (for example "ext1/ext2/ext3"). The character / has the advantage that it cannot appear in a file name itself and has no special meaning within the wildcard search or the search with regular expressions, so that this character can be used as a unique separator. With the new option "Total Text must match", the entire file name must match the specified text or regular expression to be found. If this option is disabled, the text or regular expression only needs to appear somewhere in the file name. For script controlling the TextConverter, the parameter "filter-name-matchall" has been introduced for this new option.
