Suggestion for a selector to bypass windows "temp" files?


Recommended Posts

Specifically, files like Word temp files that look like this:

 

~WRF0000.tmp

 

 

I've looked through my logs. I don't believe I can bypass files that start with "~" only.

 

And files that end in ".tmp" also seem too broad.

 

 

Ideally, I'd like to make a selector that would be something like

 

~*.tmp

 

Is that possible?

 

If not, can somebody offer a suggestion that might be similar?

 

Thanks!

It would be very nice if Retrospect could handle Regular Expressions when constructing selectors. I would like to see an "Advanced" option which would switch you over to a text window and allow you to type in full regular expressions. I don't mind building selectors out of pieces, but sometimes figuring out how to reverse engineer the logic so that you can get a complicated mix of ANDs and ORs (that could be done very easily with parentheses) is a pain.
