Figure 5.6 Finding Files<br />

5.6.1 Finding Files<br />

To perform a search for certain filenames, proceed as follows:<br />

1 Start KFind from the main menu or command line.<br />

2 Click the Name/Location tab to perform a basic search.<br />

3 Specify the name <strong>of</strong> the file to find in Named. You can use the following wild<br />

cards:<br />

Asterisk<br />

The asterisk (*) stands for any number <strong>of</strong> missing characters (even zero).<br />

For example, searching for marc* can find the files marc, marc.png, and<br />

marc_must_not_read_this.kwd. Searching for mar*.kwd can find marketplace.kwd<br />

and marc_must_not_read_this.kwd.<br />

Question Mark<br />

The question mark (?) stands for exactly one character. For example,<br />

searching for mar? can find marc, but marc? cannot find anything if your<br />

files are named marc and marc.png. You can put as many question marks<br />

in the search term as you want. It finds exactly that number <strong>of</strong> characters.<br />

You can combine those two wild card symbols in any search term.<br />
