General • Re: How to handle line pasting with regex?

Support for pasting multiple lines with regex enabled under the search menu is on my TODO list.

Currently, this will not work.



One work around is to disable pure regex:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  regex
• Select: pure_regex
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

pure regex will treat the entire search as literal regex.
With pure regex disabled, you can use Everything operators (space, ! < >) and Everything search functions (eg: size:).



I recommend leaving Search -> Regex unchecked and prefix your regex term with regex:

For example:

<name1|name2|name3> regex:.*djh.*1mix.*a1000dj.*
