Question

When using Notepad++ Find in Files feature is there a way to adjust the filter, so that it will search more than one filetype (e.g. *.c and *.h)?

Separate multiple filters with a semi-colon (;).

*.txt ; *.log

Or you can just use a space

*.txt *.log

Spaces also seem to work. – grammar31 Feb 8 '12 at 0:51

Is there any way to negate a wildcard? ex: *.vb but not *.Designer.vb? – QuickDanger Oct 11 '17 at 19:44
This is the standard open file dialog. I don't believe there is any negation. The best you can do is to carefully craft a filter that doesn't match the file you don't want. Maybe all files that have a letter or letter combination that prevents your file from showing, *a*.vb? or a file name length that doesn't match the length of the file you don't want, ?????.vb? – Beaner Oct 11 '17 at 23:01
